Q1: Define Matter. Explain that atom is the building block of all matter.
Q2: Describe the three main states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) and their distinguishing macroscopic properties: density, compressibility, and fluidity.
Q3: Write a detailed note on Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate (Cantab Exercise Question) OR Discuss exotic states of matter in detail. OR Recognize other forms of matter beyond the three basic states (e.g plasma, bose-cinstein condensates, liquid crystals). Relevant SLO in curriculum) A Sketch diagrams to show the arrangement of particles in: (i) Solid Oxygen (ii) liquid oxygen (iii) oxygen gas Describe how the particles move in these three states of matter. Following substances that have been used to create Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) Rubidium-87 Sodium-23 Lithium-6 Hydrogen Photons (light particles) Helium atoms etc. What are the three common states of matter that we encounter in our everyday lives? Discuss the conditions required for the formation of a Bose-Einstein Condensate, and what unique properties does it exhibit at such extreme temperatures? How liquid crystals exhibit properties of both liquids and solids?

What are allotropic forms of solids, and why do they have distinct properties. 2. Provide examples of allotropic forms of carbon and briefly describe their structural differences. 3. How does the atomic arrangement in diamond differ from that in graphite, and how do these differences affect their properties? 4. Can you compare and contrast the electrical conductivity of diamond. Graphite and fullerenes based on their atomic structure?
