Put n equal to 3 in the alkyne general formula CnH2n-2 and the result is C3H4, which is propyne, the second member of the alkyne series.

An alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon in which two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond, so the carbon-to-carbon double bond is its identity.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, so every bond between two carbon atoms is a single bond and all the remaining valencies are filled by hydrogen.

The d-block sits in the middle of the periodic table, bridging the s-block on the left and the p-block on the right.

The halogens are placed in Group 17 of the modern periodic table. This family has five members - fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

The SETU NSP App brings scholarship services onto a single platform, and lending has nothing to do with the Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships it serves.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, through its Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, which launched the app in April 2026.

The app carries this name together with the National Scholarship Portal and belongs to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, serving beneficiaries of the Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships for Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes.

Earlier guidelines made annual renewal compulsory; the new framework sets validity by the recorded percentage of disability so that beneficiaries are spared repeated formalities.

The ministry announced the revision and stated that the new guidelines would come into force from that date, covering both the issuance and the renewal of exempted FASTags for eligible Divyangjan and persons with disabilities.

The revised framework of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways ties the validity of an exempted FASTag to the percentage of disability on record, and the higher slab of 70 to 100 per cent carries a validity of five years.

That is the event at which the Indian women's squash side finished on the podium with a bronze medal and for which the Prime Minister sent his congratulations to the players.

The bronze was won by the Indian Women's Squash Team, and while congratulating them the Prime Minister added a remark about the game itself, saying the success would motivate young people towards squash and that the sport is becoming popular in India.

The Indian women's team in squash finished third in its event at the Games and so took the bronze medal, a result the Prime Minister described as a richly deserved place on the podium while congratulating the players for a spirited effort and for the resolve they showed.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons in which carbon atoms are joined only by single bonds, and such a chain carries the largest possible number of hydrogen atoms, given by CnH2n+2.

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons so that each completes its outermost shell.

A metal loses electrons and a non-metal gains them, so the transfer makes oppositely charged ions that attract each other, and that attraction is an ionic bond.

Sodium is a metal that gives up an electron easily and chlorine is a non-metal that accepts one, so the two form sodium chloride, an ionic compound.

Melting of ice only changes the state of water from solid to liquid; no new substance is formed, so it is a physical change.

Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius, and 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K on the Kelvin scale. To change Celsius into Kelvin, add 273 to the Celsius reading, so 0 + 273 gives 273 K; the melting point of ice is usually written as 273.15 K in exact work.
