PASS ROUNDS WILL BE OF POUNCE TYPE.

POUNCE

–

• The next question will go to team after the previous team that answered, i.e. The team may have answered a direct or a passed question.

• For example – Consider four teams A to D. Say a question starts with

Team A. Turns are taken in order to attempt answers and Team C

eventually answers correctly. In this case Team D would receive the next

question. In case the question was left unanswered by all the teams the

question will be passed to audience.

Q.5

This is the thinnest “LATTICE“ ( a network of atoms ) in chemistry.

IDENTIFY IT.

It is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a two-dimensional, atomic-

scale in which one atom forms each vertex. It is just one atom thick.

It has many extraordinary properties. It is about 200 times stronger

than steel by weight, conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency

and is nearly transparent. Only one proton can pass though the “gaps”

in between.
