• Matthew: Jesus as the Teacher
• Mark: Jesus as the Suffering Servant
• Luke: Jesus as the Universal Savior
• John: Jesus as the Divine Word

The Synoptic Gospels include Matthew, Mark, and Luke. To understand these texts, scholars use exegesis, which is the process of interpreting Scripture using historical and literary context.

Q.2(a) Energy and Its Classification

Definition: Energy is the capacity or ability to do work. It exists in various forms and can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy).

Classification of Energy

• Based on Source:
  • Conventional (Commercial) Energy: Coal, petroleum, natural gas, nuclear—widely traded and used in commerce.
  • Non-Conventional (Renewable) Energy: Solar, wind, tidal, biomass, geothermal—inexhaustible and eco-friendly.
• Based on Form:
  • Mechanical Energy: Kinetic (motion) + Potential (position). Example: rotating turbine.
  • Thermal (Heat) Energy: Energy stored in the temperature of matter. Used in boilers and furnaces.
  • Electrical Energy: Flow of electrons

Atomic Structure

• Protons — positive charge, found in nucleus
• Neutrons — no charge, found in nucleus
• Electrons — negative charge, orbit nucleus in energy levels

Key Terms

• Atomic Number (Z): number of protons
• Mass Number (A): protons + neutrons
• Isotopes: atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
• Ions: atoms that gain or lose electrons
  • Gain electrons → negative ion (anion)
  • Lose electrons → positive ion (cation)

Important Formulas

• Mass Number: A = Z + N
• Average Atomic Mass: weighted average of all isotopes

Electron Configuration

Electrons fill energy levels from lowest to highest energy. Example: Oxygen (8 electrons) → 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Types of Elements & Periodic Trends

Types of Elements

• Metals: shiny, conduct heat/electricity,
