  1. Hi Let me attempt

    Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
    Every day example is how smell of perfume moves from where it is sprayed to nearby places.

    Properties of a good electrical conductor:
    – High electrical conductivity.
    – Low electrical resistance.

    Simple periscope working: A simple periscope uses two mirrors placed parallel to each other at a 45-degree angle to allow viewing of objects obstructed by a direct line of sight. Light from the object reflects off the top mirror downwards to the bottom mirror, which then reflects it to the viewer’s eye.

    Negative impacts of deforestation:
    Loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction.
    Increased soil erosion and flooding.

    Role of decomposers: Decomposers (like bacteria and fungi) break down dead organic matter, releasing essential nutrients back into the soil for producers/ plants to use.
