Explanation

• Lyman series lies in the ultraviolet (UV) region of hydrogen spectrum.
• It is produced when an electron falls to the first energy level (n = 1).
• These transitions release high-energy photons.

Additional information:

• Balmer series lies in the visible region.
• Paschen and Brackett are in infrared.

Explanation

• Oxidation of secondary alcohols produces ketones.
• Secondary alcohols have –OH group attached to a carbon bonded with two other carbons.
• During oxidation, hydrogen is removed and a carbonyl (C=O) group is formed.

Additional information:

• Primary alcohol → Aldehyde → Acid
• Secondary alcohol → Ketone (stops here)
• Tertiary alcohol → No easy oxidation

Explanation

• RNA is formed from DNA during transcription.
• In RNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U).
• DNA base pairing rules are followed in complementary form.
• So TAGC in DNA becomes AUCG in RNA.

Explanation

• Diamond is a naturally occurring allotropic form of carbon.
• Allotropy means a single element can exist in more than one form with different structures and properties.
• It is extremely hard.
• It has a high melting point.
• It is widely used in jewelry and cutting tools.

Additional information:

• Graphite – soft, good conductor
• Fullerenes (C60) – spherical molecules
• Carbon nanotubes – tubular, high strength
• Amorphous carbon – coal, soot
• Lonsdaleite – hexagonal diamond

Explanation

• Mitochondria are cell organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) through cellular respiration. 
• They are called the “Powerhouse of the cell” because they provide the energy required for all cellular activities.
• Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to replicate independently.
