Describe how the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in automobiles has contributed to the reduction of pollution in our cities.

In the following ways, the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) in cars has resulted in considerable reductions in pollution in our cities:



  • Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a clean fuel that emits no smoke when burned, unlike other petroleum-based fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
  • Petroleum fuel is used to power autos.
  • Unburned carbon particles, as well as carbon monoxide (CO), a dangerous and destructive gas, are released into the air when fuel is burned.
  • CO produces headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms.
  • CNG burns cleanly and leaves no toxic behind.
Make a list of the circumstances in which combustion occurs.

The following are the conditions that lead to combustion:

  • The presence of oxygen aids in burning.
  • Getting the ignition temperature you want.
  • There is flammable material present.




1. Fill in the blanks:

  • Burning of _______ and _______ causes pollution of air.
  • ________ is a liquid fuel, which is used in homes.
  • Before the fuel starts burning, it must be heated to its _________.
  • Oil-fueled fires are uncontrollable by _________.



2. State True or False:

  • Because it is made up of oily carbon, soot created by burning is not toxic to us.
  • CNG means ‘Compressed Natural Gas’.
  • Combustion requires the presence of air.
  • The wick in a candle serves as the source of heat and light.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India.

Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
