Give reason why graphite is used for making elecrode in a dry cell.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Graphite is a non-corrosive non-metal and a good conductor of electricity. It is also cheap and insoluble in water, acids and bases. It is inert (does not react) to the electrolytes present in the dry cells. Thus, it makes a good material for an electrode.

In a beam of sunlight entering a room, we can sometimes see dust particles moving in a haphazard way in the air. Why do these dust particles move?
When extremely small particles X derived from the anther of a flower were suspended in a liquid Y and observed through a microscope, it was found that the particles X were moving throughout the liquid Y in a very zig-zag way. It was also observed that warmer the liquid Y, faster the particles X moved on its surface.
