37. Metals as we know, are very useful in all fields, industries in particular. Non-metals are no
any way. Oxygen present in air is essential for breathing as well as for combustion. Non-metalsless in
forma large number of compounds which are extremely useful e.g. ammonia, nitric acid, sulphuric
acid etc. Non-metals are found to exist in three states of matter. Only solid non-metals are expected
to be hard however, they have low dencity and are brittle. They usually have low melting and
boiling points and are poor conductors of electricity.

It is observed that the current from source 2 is cheaper and easy to generate than in source 1. Itis
easy to change the current from source 2into the current from source 1. The magnitude of current
from source 2can easily be increased or decreased. The power generated from source2. Can be
transmitted easily over long distances without much less in the energy as heat in the line wires.
Whereas, there
transmitted will be ahuge loss in the electrical energy if power generated from source 1is
over a long distance.

Answer the following questions.
