Question
Why do we need to manage our natural resources?

Answer

We need to manage our natural resources because:
  1. The resources of the earth are limited and our population is increasing day by day.
  2. The proper management of natural resources takes into consideration long term perspective and prevents their exploitation to the hilt for short term gains.
  3. The proper management can ensure equitable distribution of natural resources so that all the people can benefit from the development of these resources.
  4. The proper management will take into consideration the damage caused to the environment during the extraction or use of the natural resources and find ways and means to minimise this damage.

Write Short note: Fragmantation.
Atoms of eight elements $A, B, C, D, E, F, G$ and H have the same number of electron shells but different number of electrons in their outermost shells. It was found that elements $A$ and $G$ combine to form an ionic compound. This ionic compound is added in a small amount to almost all vegetables and dishes during cooking. Oxides of elements $A$ and $B$ are basic in nature while those of elements $E$ and $F$ are acidic. The oxide of element $D$ is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
  1. To which group or period of the periodic table do these elements belong?
  2. What would be the nature of compound formed by a combination of elements $B$ and $F?$
  3. Which two of these elements could definitely be metals?
  4. Which one of the eight elements is most likely to be found in gaseous state at room temperature?
  5. If the number of electrons in the outermost shell of elements $C$ and $G$ be $3$ and $7$ respectively, write the formula of the compound formed by the combination of $C$ and $G.$
