the third period in the modern periodic table with this information given in the answers
of the below question.
a) Which elements are more metallic characters from these two elements?

c) While going from left to right in this period, What will the effect on atomic number?
02
3) How can the rate of the chemical reaction, namely, decomposition of hydrogen
peroxide be increased?
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object , the temperature of the cold object
goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on
decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temper-
atures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains
heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is
isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box then no energy
can flow from inside the box or come into the box.
a) Heat is transferred from where to where?
