    There are three substances $X, Y$ and $Z.$ The substance $X$ does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance $Y$ is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance $Y$ has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance $Z$ is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance $Z$ can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as $Y.$
    1. What type of substance could $X$ be$?$ Name one substance like $X.$
    2. What type of substance could $Y$ be$?$ Name one substance like $Y.$
    3. What type of substance could $Z$ be$?$ Name one substance like $Z.$

    There is a large group of materials $P$ which can be divided into three groups $Q, R,$ and $S$ on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group $Q$ can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group $Q$ are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group $R$ are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group $S$ are neither insulators like $Q$ nor good conductors like $R.$ The properties of $S$ are intermediate between those of $Q$ and $R.$
    1. What could the group of materials $P$ be$?$
    2. Name the substances $Q$. Give two examples of such substances.
    3. Name the substances $R.$ Write two examples of such substances.
    4. Name the substances $S.$ Give two examples of such substances.
