ORPHANED LEOPARD CUB
Manisha Barde of Dhamangaon village, in Nashik, Maharashtra, had stepped out of her hut to relieve herself one early August Morning, leaving the door ajar. Her children, who slept in the same bed with her, were inside. A bit drowsy, she returned home soon to the warmth of her bed. She noticed her pet cat curled up between her two kids, inside the mosquito net. As Manisha crawled back inside, she felt the cat cuddle up to her. That's when she realised she wasn't snuggling with a cat at all, but a leopard cub. It had been orphaned a month ago when its mother was accidently killed in a road accident and had snuck into the hut, going straight to the bed for a nap. Forest officials, who were soon alerted, trapped the three-month cub. Last heard, the cub was doing fine and under the care of the local forest department. It will be released into the wild once it is old enough to hunt. Source: Reader's Digest

Sustaining Artisans Economically
A wide range of beautiful handicrafts form one of the most significant traits of the rich cultural heritage of our country. They are not only the traditional arts of different provinces but also form an important source of alternative income for the artisans. Almost 70 percent of our country’s population residing in rural areas is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture as the primary source of livelihood. In non-agricultural or lean seasons, handicrafts become an alternative means of subsistence for this population and safeguard them from food insecurity. In this way, handicrafts become an important source of livelihood for a large chunk of the Indian population. There were 68.86 lakh artisans as per the census of handicrafts conducted during the eleventh five-year plan. The sector provides employment in various forms to the artisans. This can be production of raw materials like motifs, production of finished goods and their marketing.
There is another sub-segment of this sector employing another set of people. They are the people engaged directly or indirectly in export of handicrafts. The export segment of handicrafts is emerging as the potential source of foreign exchange earnings.
Figure 1 establishes the fact that export of handicrafts reflects a rising trend and has a significant share in the domain of all-India exports.
According to government sources it was estimated in the year 2015-16 the total production of handicrafts including handmade carpets was Rupees 41,418 crores and export of handicrafts was Rupees 30,939 crores. The figures prove the role of the sector in the Indian economy.

Facts on Seismic Waves
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth, generated by geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, or human-made explosions. There are two main categories of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves.
1. Body Waves: These waves travel through the Earth's interior and are further classified into:
a. P-waves (Primary waves): These are compressional waves that move through both solids and liquids. In P-waves, particles in the material move back and forth in the same direction as the wave propagation.
b. S-waves (Secondary waves): These waves only travel through solids and are shear waves, meaning they cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
2. Surface Waves: These waves travel along the Earth's surface and are typically slower than body waves but can cause significant damage during earthquakes. They involve complex particle motion, often combining both longitudinal and transverse movements.
Understanding the types of seismic waves and their characteristics is crucial in seismology, particularly for interpreting seismic data and assessing earthquake impacts.

On Electron Transfer in Elements
In chemistry, the behavior of atoms in terms of gaining or losing electrons is crucial for understanding the formation of ions and the nature of chemical bonds. Elements can be classified into two main categories: metals and nonmetals.
Metals: Typically located on the left side of the periodic table, metals tend to have low electronegativities and ionization energies. They usually lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming positive ions (cations). For example, sodium (Na) loses one electron to form Na⁺.
Nonmetals: Found on the right side of the periodic table, nonmetals generally have higher electronegativities and ionization energies. They are more likely to gain electrons to fill their outer electron shells, resulting in the formation of negative ions (anions). For example, chlorine (Cl) gains one electron to form Cl⁻.
Understanding the tendency of metals to lose electrons and nonmetals to gain them is fundamental in predicting how different elements will interact in chemical reactions.
Match each type of element (A, B) with their corresponding behavior (1, 2) and resulting ion (X, Y).
Types of Elements:
A. Metals.
B. Nonmetals
Behaviors:
1. Lose electrons
2. Gain electrons
Resulting Ions:
X. Form positive ions (cations)
Y. Form negative ions (anions)
Ion Formation in Metals and Nonmetals
Understanding how metals and nonmetals form ions is fundamental in chemistry. Ions are charged particles that result from the loss or gain of electrons.
Metals: Typically located on the left side of the periodic table, metals tend to lose electrons when they react with other elements. This loss of electrons results in the formation of positively charged ions known as cations. For example, sodium (Na) loses one electron to form Na⁺.
Nonmetals: Found on the right side of the periodic table, nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions. This gain of electrons results in the formation of negatively charged ions called anions. For example, chlorine (Cl) gains one electron to form Cl⁻.
By understanding the behavior of these two groups of elements, students can gain insights into how ionic compounds are formed, their properties, and their significance in chemical reactions.
QUESTION: What happens to a metal atom when it forms a cation?
Everyday Products
The products we use daily significantly impact our lives, health, and environment. Understanding the importance of these products helps us make informed decisions regarding their use, sustainability, and alternatives.

Valence Electrons and the Periodic Table
Understanding valence electrons is fundamental to grasping how elements interact in chemical reactions. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and are crucial in determining how an element will bond with others.
Groups in the Periodic Table: The periodic table is organized into groups (vertical columns) that share similar chemical properties due to their valence electron configuration.
Group 1A (Alkali Metals): These elements have one valence electron (e.g., Lithium, Sodium). They are highly reactive and tend to lose this electron easily.
Group 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals): These elements have two valence electrons (e.g., Magnesium, Calcium) and are less reactive than alkali metals.
Group 3A (Boron Group): Elements in this group have three valence electrons (e.g., Aluminum, Gallium).
Group 4A (Carbon Group): These elements have four valence electrons (e.g., Carbon, Silicon).
Group 5A (Nitrogen Group): Elements here have five valence electrons (e.g., Nitrogen, Phosphorus).
Group 6A (Chalcogens): These elements have six valence electrons (e.g., Oxygen, Sulfur).
Group 7A (Halogens): Elements in this group have seven valence electrons (e.g., Fluorine, Chlorine). They are very reactive and tend to gain one electron to achieve stability.
Group 8A (Noble Gases): These elements have eight valence electrons (e.g., Neon, Argon), making them very stable and generally unreactive.
Question: What will likely happen if an element in Group 5A loses three valence electrons?
Covalent Bonding and Collaboration
Covalent bonding is a fundamental concept in chemistry where atoms share electrons to achieve stability. This sharing creates strong connections between atoms, resulting in the formation of stable molecules. Just as in Filipino culture, where food and relationships thrive through sharing and collaboration, atoms must work together to create compounds that support life.
Key Concepts:
Covalent Bonds: Formed when two or more atoms share electrons, allowing them to attain a full outer electron shell.
Molecular Stability: Achieved through the right combination of atoms, much like how a well-balanced dish requires the proper ingredients.
Collaboration: Both in cooking and in chemistry, successful outcomes depend on teamwork and the right elements coming together harmoniously.
