A health disorder that results from the deficiency of thyroxine in adults and is characterized by (i) a low metabolic rate, (ii) increase in body weight, and (iii) tendency to retain water in tissues is

Decreased synthesis of thyroxine in adults leads to a disorder characterized by decrease in basal metabolic rate, increase in body weight and oedema is

)Ilow metabolic rate II)Increase in body weight III)Tendency to retain water in tissue Which of the following disease shows the above given symptoms?

The following are some statements related to II group metals I. The reaction with water increases from Be to Ba II. The ionic nature of hydrides decreases from Be to Ba III. The thermal stability of the peroxides increases with increase in cationic size IV. The solubility of sulphates increases from Mg to Ba The correct options are :

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and phyical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configurfation of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a preiod from left or right. As a consequence , the ionisation enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionisation enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and the electron left element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at two extgremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease (with excetption in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements . These properties can be related with the (i) reducing and oxidising behacviour of the elements (ii) metallic and no-metallic charcter of element (iii) acidic, basic , amphoteric and neutral character of the oxides of the elements. Among Al_(2)O_(3), SiO_(2),P_(2)O_(3) and SO_(2) the correct order of acid strenght is :

A body of mass 3.5 kg displaces 1000cm^(3) of water when fully immersed inside it. Calculate :(i) the volume of body (ii) the upthrust on body and (iii) the apparent weight of body in water.

A body weighs 450 gf in air and 310 gf when completely immersed in water. Find: (i) the volume of the body (ii) the loss in weight of the body, and (iii) the upthrust on the body. State the assumption made in part (i)

Read the following statements and select the correct ones. (i) Increase in mass and increase in number of individuals are twin characteristics of growth. (ii) Metabolic reactions can be demonstrated outside the body in isolated cell-free systems. (iii) 'Response to stimuli' is a defining property of living organisms.

Exophthalmic goitre is characterized by protrusion of eyeballs , weight loss , enlargement of the thyroid gland and decreases basal metabolic rate . 3. Addison's disease occurs due to decreased production of hormones from the outer part of the adrenal gland. 4. Hyper secretion of parathormone cause an increase in the deposition of calcium in bones .

A large quantity of urban sewage is drained to a nearby river.
