If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing
due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The
change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this
process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the
objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box, then no energy can flow
from inside the box or come into the box.

Rainbow is a beautiful natural phenomenon. It is the combined effect of dispersion, refraction and total
internal reflection of light. It can be seen mainly after rainfall. Small droplets of water act as small prisms.
When light rays from the sun enter these droplets it gets refracted and dispersed. Then there is internal
reflection and after that once again the light gets refracted while coming out of the droplet. All these three
processes together produce the rainbow.

Carbon compounds contain many elements. The element hydrogen is present to a smaller or larger extent
in majority of carbon compounds. The compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen as the only two
elements are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are the simplest and the fundamental organic
compounds. The smallest hydrocarbon is methane (CH4), formed by combination of one carbon atom and
four hydrogen atom. We have already seen the structure of methane. Ethane is one more hydrocarbon. Its
molecular formula is C2H6.
The carbon compounds having a double bond or triple bond between two carbon atoms are called
unsaturated compounds. Ethane and ethyne are unsaturated hydrocarbons. The unsaturated hydrocarbons
containing a carbon-carbon double bond are called 'Alkanes'. The unsaturated hydrocarbons whose
structures contain a carbon-carbon triple bond are called 'Alkynes'. Generally, the unsaturated compounds
