f. Sometimes sepals become brightly coloured (petaloid sepals) and attract insects for pollination,
e.g. Mussaenda etc.
g. Sepals modify into hairy structures called as pappus. Such calyx helps in dispersal of fruit, e.g. Tridex.

2. Corolla (C):
a. It is second floral whorl from outer side and variously coloured.
b. The individual member is called as petal.
c. Petals may be sweet to taste, possess scent, odour, aroma or fragrance etc.
d. The condition in which petals are free is said to be polypetalous (e.g. Rose) and if they are fused it is called as gamopetalous (e.g. Datura).
e. The main function of corolla is to attract different agencies for pollination.

3. Perianth (P):
a. Many times, calyx and corolla remain undifferentiated. Such member is known as tepal.
b. The whorl of tepals is known as Perianth.
c. It protects other floral whorls.
d. If all the tepals are free the condition is called as polyphyllous and if they are fused the condition is called as gamophyllous.
e. Sepaloid perianth shows green tepals, while petaloid perianth shows brightly coloured tepals. e.g. Lily, Amaranthus, Celosia, etc.

e. The main function of sepals is to protect inner floral parts in bud condition.
f. Sometimes sepals become brightly coloured (petaloid sepals) and attract insects for pollination,
e.g. Mussaenda etc.
g. Sepals modify into hairy structures called as pappus. Such calyx helps in dispersal of fruit, e.g. Tridex.

2. Corolla (C):
a. It is second floral whorl from outer side and variously coloured.
b. The individual member is called as petal.
c. Petals may be sweet to taste, possess scent, odour, aroma or fragrance etc.
d. The condition in which petals are free is said to be polypetalous (e.g. Rose) and if they are fused it is called as gamopetalous (e.g. Datura).
e. The main function of corolla is to attract different agencies for pollination.

c. It protects other floral whorls.
d. If all the tepals are free the condition is called as polyphyllous and if they are fused the condition is called as gamophyllous.
e. Sepaloid perianth shows green tepals, while petaloid perianth shows brightly coloured tepals. e.g. Lily, Amaranthus, Celosia, etc.
f. Petaloid tepal helps in pollination and sepaloid tepals can perform photosynthesis.

4. Androecium (A):
a. It is third floral whorl from outer side.
b. Androecium is male reproductive part of a flower.
c. The individual member is known as stamen.
d. If all the stamens are free the condition is polyandrous and synandrous if they are fused.
e. Typical stamen shows three different parts:
1. Anther: It is terminal in position. Anther produces pollen grains. It is usually dithecous (two anther lobes), tetralocular/tetra sporangiate (four pollen sacs) structure, e.g. Datura.
In some plants it is monothecous (single lobed), bilocular or bisporangiate structure e.g. Hibiscus.
2. Filament: It is a stalk of stamen and bears anther at its tip. It raises anther to a proper height for easy dispersal of pollen grains.
3. Connective: It is in continuation with the filament. It is similar to mid rib and connects two anther lobes together and also with the filament.

d. The number of carpels may be one to many.
e. If all the carpels are fused the condition is described as syncarpous and if they are free the condition is described as apocarpous.
f. The polycarpellary gynoecium can be bicarpellary (two carpels e.g. Datura), tricarpellary (three carpels e.g. Cucurbita), pentacarpellery (five carpels e.g. Hibiscus) and so on.
g. A typical carpel consists of three parts stigma, style and ovary.
1. Stigma is a terminal part of carpel which receives pollen grains during pollination. It helps in
germination of pollen grain. Stigma shows variation in structure to suit the pollinating agent.
2. Style is narrow thread like structure that connects ovary with stigma.
3. Ovary is basal swollen fertile part of the carpel. Ovules are produced in ovary on a soft fertile tissue called placenta.

  • The quantitative analytical methods involve measurement of quantities such as mass and volume using some equipment/apparatus such as weighing machine, burette, etc.

Question 12.
Why is accurate measurement crucial in science?
Answer:

  • The accuracy of measurement is of a great concern in analytical chemistry. This is because faulty equipment, poor data processing or human error can lead to inaccurate measurements. Also, there can be intrinsic errors in the analytical measurement.
  • When measurements are not accurate, this provides incorrect data that can lead to wrong conclusions. For example, if a laboratory experiment requires a specific amount of a chemical, then measuring the wrong amount may result in an unsafe or unexpected outcome.
  • Hence, the numerical data obtained experimentally are treated mathematically to reach some quantitative conclusion.
  • Also, an analytical chemist has to know how to report the quantitative analytical data, indicating the extent of the accuracy of measurement, perform the mathematical operation and properly express the quantitative error in the result.

Question 13.
Why are scientific notations (exponential notations) used?
Answer:
A chemist has to deal with numbers as large as 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 for the molecules of 2 g of hydrogen gas or as small as 0.00000000000000000000000166 g. that is, mass of a H atom. To avoid the writing of so many zeros in mathematical operations, scientific notations i.e. exponential notations are used.

Question 14.
How are numbers expressed in scientific notations (exponential notations)?
Answer:
In scientific notations, numbers are expressed in the form of N × 10n, where ‘n’ is an exponent with positive or negative values and N can have a value between 1 to 10.
e.g. i. The number, 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 is expressed as 6.022 × 1023.
ii. The mass of a H atom, 0.00000000000000000000000166 g is expressed as 1.66 × 10-24 g.
iii. The number 123.546 is written as 1.23546 × 102.
iv. The number 0.00015 is written as 1.5 × 10-4.

iii. 653.00 = 6.5300 × 102
iv. 34.768 = 3.4768 × 101

Question 16.
Define: Accuracy of measurement
Answer:
Nearness of the measured value to the true value is called the accuracy of measurement.

Question 17.
Explain with the help of a diagram how accuracy depends upon the sensitivity or least count of the measuring equipment.
Answer:
A burette reading of 10.2 mL is as shown in the diagram below:
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 2 Introduction to Analytical Chemistry 1

  • For all the three situations in the above figure, the reading would be noted is 10.2 mL.
  • It means that there is an uncertainty about the digit appearing after the decimal point in the reading 10.2 mL because the least count of the burette is 0.1 mL.
  • The meaning of the reading 10.2 mL is that the true value of the reading lies between 10.1 mL and 10.3 mL.
  • This is indicated by writing 10.2 ± 0.1 mL.
  • Here, the burette reading has an error of ± 0.1 mL.
  • Smaller the error, higher is the accuracy.

Question 18.
How is absolute error calculated?
Answer:
Absolute error is calculated by subtracting true value from observed value.
Absolute error = Observed value – Tme value

Question 19.
Explain the term: Relative error
Answer:

  1. Relative error is the ratio of an absolute error to the true value.
  2. Relative error is generally a more useful quantity than absolute error.
  3. Relative error is expressed as a percentage and can be calculated as follows:
    Relative error = \(\frac{\text { Absolute error }}{\text { True value }} \times 100 \%\)

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 2 Introduction to Analytical Chemistry

Question 20.
Explain the term: Precision in measurement
Answer:

  • Multiple readings of the same quantity are noted to minimize the error.
  • If the multiple readings of the same quantity match closely, they are said to have high precision.
  • High precision implies reproducibility of the readings.
  • High precision is a prerequisite for high accuracy.
  • Precision is expressed in terms of deviation (i.e. absolute deviation and relative deviation).

Question 21.
Explain the following terms with respect to precise measurement:
i. Absolute deviation
ii. Mean absolute deviation
iii. Relative deviation
Answer:
i. Absolute deviation: An absolute deviation is the modulus of the difference between an observed value and the arithmetic mean for the set of several measurements made in the same way. It is a measure of absolute error in the repeated observation. It is expressed as follows:
Absolute deviation = |Observed value – Mean|

ii. Mean absolute deviation: Arithmetic mean of all the absolute deviations is called the mean absolute deviation in the measurements.

iii. Relative deviation: The ratio of mean absolute deviation to its arithmetic mean is called relative deviation. It is expressed as follows:
Relative deviation = \(\frac{\text { Mean absolute deviation }}{\text { Mean }}\) × 100%

Question 22.
Explain the need of significant figures in measurement.
Answer:

  • Uncertainty in measured value leads to uncertainty in calculated result.
  • Uncertainty in a value is indicated by mentioning the number of significant figures in that value. e.g. Consider, the column reading 10.2 ± 0.1 mL recorded on a burette having the least count of 0.1 mL. Here, it is said that the last digit ‘2’ in the reading is uncertain, its uncertainty is ±0.1 mL. On the other hand, the figure ‘10’ is certain.
  • The significant figures in a measurement or result are the number of digits known with certainty plus one uncertain digit.
  • In a scientific experiment, a result is obtained by doing calculation in which values of a number of quantities measured with equipment of different least counts are used.

Question 23.
How many significant figures are present in the following measurements?

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 2 Introduction to Analytical Chemistry

Question 25.
State the rules used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures.
Answer:
The following rules are used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures:

  • If the digit following the last digit to be kept is less than five, the last digit is left unchanged, e.g. 46.32 rounded off to two significant figures is 46.
  • If the digit following the last digit to be kept is five or more, the last digit to be kept is increased by one. e.g. 52.87 rounded to three significant figures is 52.9.

Question 26.
Round off each of the following to the number of significant digits indicated:
i. 1.223 to two digits
ii. 12.56 to three digits
iii. 122.17 to four digits
iv. 231.5 to three digits
Answer:
i. 1.223 to two digits = 1.2
This is because the third digit is less than 5, so we drop it and all the other digits to its right.
ii. 12.56 to three digits = 12.6
This is because the fourth digit is greater than 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the third digit.
iii. 122.17 to four digits = 122.2
This is because the fifth digit is greater than 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the fourth digit.
iv. 231.5 to three digits = 232
This is because the fourth digit is 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the third digit.

Question 41.
A compound contains 4.07% hydrogen, 24.27% carbon and 71.65% chlorine by mass. Its molar mass is 98.96 g mol-1. What is its empirical formula and molecular formula? Atomic masses of hydrogen, carbon and chlorine are 1.008,12.000 and 35.453 u, respectively
Solution:
Given: Percentage of H, C and Cl = 4.07% , 24.27% and 71.65% by mass respectively.
To find: Empirical formula and molecular formula
Calculation: Step I:
Check whether the sum of all the percentages is 100.
4.07 + 24.27 + 71.65 = 99.99 ≈ 100
Therefore, no need to consider presence of oxygen atom in the molecule.

Step II:
Conversion of mass percent to grams. Since we are having mass percent, it is convenient to use 100 g of the compound as the starting material. Thus, in the 100 g sample of the above compound, 4.07 g hydrogen 24.27 g carbon and 71.65 g chlorine are present.

Step III:
Convert into number of moles of each element. Divide the masses obtained above by respective atomic masses of various elements.
Moles of hydrogen = \(\frac{4.07 \mathrm{~g}}{1.008 \mathrm{~g}}\) = 4.04 mol
Moles of carbon = \(\frac{24.27 \mathrm{~g}}{12.000 \mathrm{~g}}\) = 2.0225 mol
Moles of chlorine = \(\frac{71.65 \mathrm{~g}}{35.453 \mathrm{~g}}\) = 2.021 mol

Steps IV:
Divide the mole values obtained above by the smallest value among them.
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 2 Introduction to Analytical Chemistry 8

Write empirical formula by mentioning the numbers after writing the symbols of respective elements. CH2Cl is thus, the empirical formula of the above compound.

Step VI:
Writing molecular formula
a. Determine empirical formula mass: Add the atomic masses of various atoms present in the empirical formula.
For CH2Cl, empirical formula mass = 12.000 + 2 × 1.008 + 35.453 = 49.469 g mol-1
b. Divide molar mass by empirical formula mass
Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 2 Introduction to Analytical Chemistry 9

Solution:
Given: Atomic mass of K = 39 u, Mn = 59 u, and O = 16 u.
Percentage of potassium and manganese = 24.75 % and 34.75% respectively
To find: The empirical formula of the given inorganic compound
Calculation: Percentage of potassium = 24.75%
Percentage of manganese = 34.75%
Total percentage = 59.50%
∴ Remaining must be that of oxygen
∴ Percentage of oxygen = 100 – 59.50 = 40.50%

Ans: Volume of O2 (at STP) required to bum 2.2 g propane = 5.6 litres

Question 51.
A piece of zinc weighing 0.635 g when treated with excess of dilute H2SO4 liberated 200 cm3 hydrogen at STP. Calculate the percentage purity of the zinc sample.
Solution:
Given: Mass of zinc = 0.635 g, volume of H2 liberated = 200 cm3
To find: % purity of zinc sample
Calculation: The relevant balanced chemical equation is,
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
It indicates that 22.4 L of hydrogen at STP = 65 g of Zn.
(where, atomic mass of Zn = 65 u)
∴ 0.200 L of hydrogen at STP
= \(\frac{65 \mathrm{~g}}{22.4 \mathrm{~L}}\) × 200 L
= 0.5803 g of Zn
∴ Percentage purity of Zn = \(\frac{0.5803}{0.635}\) × 100
= 91.37 % (by using log tables)
Ans: Percentage purity of Zn sample = 91.37%

[Calculation using log table:
\(\frac{65 \times 0.200}{22.4}\)
= Antilog10 [log10 (65) + log10 (0.200) – log10 (22.4)]
= Antilog10 [1.8129 + \(\overline{1} .3010\) – 1.3502]
= Antilog10 [latex]\overline{1} .7637[/latex] = 0.5803
\(\frac{0.5803}{0.635} \times 100=\frac{58.03}{0.635}\)
= Antilog10 [log10 (58.03) – log10 (0.635)]
= Antilog10 [1.7636 – \(\overline{1} .8028\)]
= Antilog10 [1.9608] = 91.37]

Question 52.
Explain with the help of a chemical reaction how limiting reagent works.
Answer:

  • Consider the formation of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen.
    2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)
  • Suppose initially, we take 8 moles of NO and 7 moles of O2.
  • To determine the limiting reagent, calculate the number of moles NO2 produced from the given initial quantities of NO and O2. The limiting reagent will yield the smaller amount of the product.
  • Starting with 8 moles of NO, the number of NO2 produced is,
    8 mol NO × \(\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}_{2}}{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}}\) = 8 mol NO2
  • Starting with 7 moles of O2, the number of moles NO2 produced is,
    7 mol O2 × \(\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}_{2}}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}}\) = 14 mol NO2
  • Since, 8 moles NO result in a smaller amount of NO2, NO is the limiting reagent, and O2 is the excess reagent, before reaction has started.

प्रश्न 1.
वर्णनात्मक निबंध-
पहाटेचे सौंदर्य.
आमची अविस्मरणीय सहल.
उत्तर :
वर्णनात्मक निबंध दैनंदिन जीवनात आपण पाहिलेल्या व्यक्तींचे, प्रसंगांचे, दृश्यांचे किंवा वस्तूंचे शब्दांनी केलेले प्रत्ययकारक चित्रण म्हणजे वर्णनात्मक निबंध होय.

वर्णिलेल्या प्रसंगांतील, दृश्यांतील, मानवी स्वभावांतील बारकाव्यांचा तपशील येणे वर्णनात्मक निबंधात आवश्यक असते. समजा, आपण एखादया व्यक्तीचे वर्णन करीत आहोत; अशा वेळी त्या निबंधात त्या व्यक्तीच्या सद्गुणांचे वर्णन येणारच. पण त्याचबरोबर (त्या व्यक्तीमधील उणिवाही सांगितल्या पाहिजेत. तसेच, तिच्या हालचाली, लकबी, सवयी यांतील बारकावे सांगितले पाहिजेत. म्हणजे ती व्यक्ती आपल्या डोळ्यांसमोर जशीच्या तशी उभी राहते. असे लेखन घडले, तर तो चांगला वर्णनात्मक निबंध ठरेल.

व्यक्तीच्या वर्णनाप्रमाणेच वस्तू, ठिकाण, दृश्य, प्रसंग यांचेही हुबेहूब, प्रत्ययकारी वर्णन लिहिता आले पाहिजे. ती वस्तू , ते ठिकाण आपण समोर उभे राहून पाहत आहोत, असा प्रत्यय आला पाहिजे. प्रत्ययकारकता हा वर्णनात्मक निबंधाचा प्राण आहे.

नोंद : येथे निबंधात विदयार्थ्यांच्या मार्गदर्शनार्थ मुद्दे दिलेले आहेत. परीक्षेत केवळ निबंधांचे विषय देण्यात येतात, याची नोंद घ्यावी.

वर्णनात्मक निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

घरातील एक उपद्रवी कीटक

[मुद्दे : उपद्रवकारक कीटकांचा प्राथमिक परिचय – त्रासाचे स्वरूप – कीटकांविषयी कुतूहल – कीटकांचे स्थूल स्वरूप – वागण्याची वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण रीत – कीटकांपासून होणारा महत्त्वाचा त्रास – त्या कीटकांची पैदास – त्या कीटकांच्या निर्मूलनाचा मार्ग.]

माशी ही परमेश्वराप्रमाणे सर्वव्यापी व सर्वसंचारी आहे. कोठेही जा. तुम्हांला माशी आढळणारच. मी तरी माशी नसलेले ठिकाण अजून पाहिलेले नाही. माझ्या मते, माणसाला उपद्रव देणाऱ्या कीटकांमध्ये, माशीचा पहिला क्रमांक लागतो. डास त्रासदायक आहे, यात शंकाच नाही. पण त्याच्यापेक्षा माशी अधिक त्रासदायक आहे, असे माझे ठाम मत आहे. डासांना अटकाव करण्यासाठी वा त्यांना मारण्यासाठी औषधे, फवारण्या व अगरबत्त्या बाजारात मिळतात. पण माश्यांविरुद्ध असे काही उपाय केले जात असल्याचे दिसत नाही.

माश्या आणि उपद्रव या दोन्ही बाबी सोबत सोबतच असतात. डासांप्रमाणे माश्या चावत नाहीत. काही रोगांशी डासांचा संबंध घट्ट जोडला गेला आहे. तसे माश्यांबाबत नाही. म्हणून माश्या निरुपद्रवी वाटत असाव्यात. आणि माश्यांना बहुधा हे कळले असावे. त्यामुळे त्या एकदम अंगचटीलाच येतात. त्यांना हाकलण्याचा कितीही प्रयत्न करा; त्या तात्पुरत्या सटकतात आणि पुन्हा पुन्हा अंगावर येतात. आपण एकाग्रतेने अभ्यासाला बसावे किंवा निवांतपणे टीव्ही पाहत असावे, तर माशीचा फेरा सुरू झालाच म्हणून समजा.

आपण तिला अगदी अव्वल गुप्तहेराच्या चतुराईने मारण्याचा प्रयत्न केला, तरी ती तावडीत सापडत नाहीच. त्यानंतर ती परत येऊन बसते कुठे? तर पाठीवर, मानेवर वा कपाळावर अशा आपल्याला न दिसणाऱ्या जागेवर! मग तिला फक्त निकराने हाकलतच राहावे लागते. ती मात्र सुरक्षितरीत्या पळत राहते, एखादया कुशल खो – खो खेळाडूप्रमाणे! अशा वेळी ती आपल्याला कुत्सितपणे हसत असणार, असे अनेकदा माझ्या मनात येऊन गेले आहे. ती चावत नाही; पण सारखी सुळसुळत राहते. त्यामुळे चित्त विचलित होत राहते. चैन पडत नाही. आपण एकाग्रतेने काहीही करू शकत नाही. मन अस्वस्थ होते आणि मनाची चिडचिड चिडचिड होते!

खरे पाहता, माशीच्या आकाराच्या तुलनेत आपण म्हणजे महाकाय, अक्राळविक्राळ राक्षसच! तरीही ती आपल्याला घाबरत कशी नाही? पुन्हा पुन्हा अंगावर येऊन बसते कशी? प्रत्येक वेळी ती यशस्वीरीत्या सटकते कशी? याचे मला प्रचंड कुतूहल होते. हे कुतूहल मला काही केल्या गप्प बसू देईना. मग मी मराठी विश्वकोश उघडला. त्यातील माशीची माहिती वाचली आणि थक्कच झालो. तिच्या सुरक्षितरीत्या पळण्याचे रहस्यच मला उलगडले.

माशीच्या डोक्यावर दोन मोठे टपोरे डोळे असतात. त्या डोळ्यांत प्रत्येकी चार हजार नेत्रिका असतात. नेत्रिका म्हणजे काय माहीत आहे का? आपण सूक्ष्मदर्शक उपकरणाच्या साहाय्याने अत्यंत लहान, सूक्ष्म वस्तू मोठी करून पाहतो. सूक्ष्मदर्शकाच्या ज्या भिंगातून आपण पाहतो, त्या भिंगाला नेत्रिका म्हणतात. म्हणजे आठ हजार भिंगांमधून माशी भोवतालचा परिसर पाहते. शिवाय तिला आणखी तीन साधे डोळे असतातच. त्यामुळे माशी मान न हलवता एकाच क्षणी सर्व दिशांनी भोवताली पाहू शकते. लक्षात घ्या – आपल्याला फक्त समोरचेच दिसते. माशीला मात्र हालचाल न करता सगळीकडचे दिसते. म्हणूनच तिला कोणत्याही दिशेने येणाऱ्या संकटाची चाहूल तत्काळ लागते आणि ती त्वरेने पळ काढू शकते.

एकदा दुपारी मी शाळेतून घरी आलो आणि समोरचे दृश्य पाहून चकितच झालो. एका बशीच्या काठावर माश्या ओळीने गोलाकार बसल्या होत्या – उंच टांगलेल्या केबलवर कावळे ओळीने बसतात तशा. गुपचूप बाजूला झालो. माझ्या काकांचे मोठे बहिर्गोल भिंग घेऊन आलो आणि त्या भिंगातून माश्यांचे निरीक्षण करू लागलो.

प्रत्येक माशीला सहा पाय होते. सर्व माश्या सहाही पायांवर उभ्या होत्या. मधूनमधून पुढचे दोन पाय वर उचलून ते हातासारखे वापरत होत्या. ” कधी दोन्ही हात एकमेकांवर घासायच्या; तर कधी चेहऱ्यावरचे पाणी निपटून टाकावे त्याप्रमाणे चेहऱ्यावरून हात फिरवायच्या. जणू त्यांचा स्वच्छतेचा कार्यक्रम चालू होता! मला हसूच येऊ लागले. कुजलेले पदार्थ, शेण, लीद, मलमूत्र, गटारे अशा ठिकाणी रममाण होणाऱ्या आणि तिथेच अंडी घालणाऱ्या या माश्या स्वच्छता करीत होत्या!

त्यांच्या पायांवर दाट केस होते. या केसांत अक्षरश: लाखो सूक्ष्म रोगजंतू घर करून राहतात. त्या आपल्या अन्नपदार्थांवर येऊन बसतात. मग ते रोगजंतू आपल्या अन्नात मिसळतात. आपल्याला कॉलरा, हगवण, टायफॉईड यांसारख्या रोगांची लागण होते. आपल्या देशात या रोगांमुळे काही हजार माणसे दरवर्षी दगावतात. केवढा हा माश्यांचा उपद्रव!

माश्यांच्या उपद्रवामुळे मी त्यांचा बारकाईने विचार केला आहे. मला एक शोध लागला आहे. माश्यांचा नायनाट करायला औषधे, फवारण्या वगैरेंची अजिबात गरज नाही. माश्यांना घाण प्रिय असते. म्हणून आपण घाणच नाहीशी करायची. घाण होऊच दयायची नाही. सदोदित स्वच्छता पाळायची, बस्स. केवढा सुंदर महामार्ग आहे हा!

प्रश्न 2.
व्यक्तिचित्रणात्मक निबंध –
माझा आवडता कलावंत.
माझे आवडते शिक्षक.
उत्तर :
व्यक्तिचित्रणात्मक निबंध

व्यक्तिचित्रणात्मक निबंधात व्यक्तीचे चित्रण केलेले असते. प्रसंगवर्णनात प्रसंगाचे शब्दचित्र असते. त्या चित्रणात प्रसंगाचे लक्षवेधक, प्रभावी वर्णन केलेले असते. तो प्रसंग वाचकाच्या डोळ्यांसमोर उभा राहतो. आपण जणू काही तो प्रसंग पाहतच आहोत, असा वाचकाला प्रत्यय येत राहतो. त्याप्रमाणेच व्यक्तिचित्रणात व्यक्ती डोळ्यांसमोर उभी करण्याचे सामर्थ्य असले पाहिजे. जिवंत व्यक्तीच आपण पाहत आहोत, असा वाचकाला प्रत्यय आला पाहिजे. म्हणून व्यक्तीचे दिसणे, तिच्या हालचाली, लकबी, बोलण्याच्या पद्धती, विचार, दृष्टिकोन वगैरेंपैकी काही घटकांच्या किंवा अनेक घटकांच्या आधारे ती व्यक्ती साकार करता यायला हवी.

व्यक्तिचित्रणासाठी व्यक्ती नामवंत, वलयांकित, इतिहासप्रसिद्ध असली पाहिजे असे मुळीच नाही. व्यक्ती कोणीही असू शकते. अट एकच – चित्रण हुबेहूब वठले पाहिजे. त्यात व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे जास्तीत जास्त पैलू प्रकट झाले पाहिजेत. असे व्यक्तिचित्रण हे यशस्वी व्यक्तिचित्रण होय.

व्यक्तिचित्रणात्मक निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

आमचे मनोहरकाका

[मुद्दे : व्यक्तीची प्राथमिक ओळख – लेखकाशी नाते – दर्शनी रूप – पेहराव – वृत्ती – व्यक्तीची इतरांशी वागण्याची पद्धत – सहवासाचा परिणाम – व्यक्तीचे उपजीविकेचे साधन – छंद – छंदाचे महत्त्व – लेखकाला झालेला फायदा.]

आमच्या शेजारचे मनोहरकाका आमच्या कॉलनीतील आम्हा मित्रमंडळींचे लाडके दोस्त आहेत. आम्हा सगळ्यांना ते खूप आवडतात. नेहमी हसतमुख चेहरा. आम्ही त्यांना कधीही कंटाळलेले, वैतागलेले, त्रागा करीत असलेले असे पाहिलेले नाही. त्यांच्या अंगावर स्वच्छ, इस्त्री केलेले नीटनेटके कपडे असतात. शर्ट नेहमी पँटीत खोचलेले असते. ते ठरावीक दोन – तीनच रंगांचे कपडे वापरतात, असे नाही. त्यांच्या अंगावर विविध रंग सुखाने नांदत असतात.

त्यातही त्यांना टी – शर्ट खूप प्रिय आहेत. हे टी – शर्टसुद्धा ते पॅन्टीत खोचतात, साधारणपणे टी – शर्ट खोचल्यानंतर बहुतेक लोक कमरेचा पट्टा बांधतात. पण मनोहरकाकांच्या बाबतीत गमतीची गोष्ट अशी की त्यांनी कधीही कमरेचा पट्टा वापरलेला नाही. त्यांची प्रकृती नेहमी टुणटुणीत असते. मनोहरकाका आणि प्रसन्नता नेहमी एकत्रच येतात.

मनोहरकाकांचा एक गुण आम्हांला खूप म्हणजे खूपच आवडतो. त्यांनी आम्हांला, “आज अभ्यास केला की नाही? की नुसता खेळण्यात वेळ गेला? किती गुण मिळाले?” असले प्रश्न कधीही विचारले नाहीत. पण त्यांचे आमच्या शिक्षणाकडे लक्ष नव्हते, असे नाही. आम्हा मित्रांच्या आई – बाबांशी त्यांची सतत कोणत्या ना कोणत्या योजनांविषयी चर्चा चालू असे. त्यांनी कॉलनीतील आठवी – नववी – दहावीतील मुलांसाठी विज्ञान प्रयोगशाळा सुरू केली आहे. तसेच, त्यांचे आम्हांला एक आग्रहाचे सांगणे असते, “इंग्रजीवर प्रभुत्व मिळवा. इंग्रजी वर्तमानपत्रे, मासिके वाचा. इंग्रजी पुस्तके वाचत राहा.

इंग्रजी कार्यक्रम पाहा. इंग्रजी बातम्या पाहा. डिक्शनरीची फिकीर करू नका”. मी आठवीत असल्यापासून त्यांचे हे म्हणणे मनावर घेतले. मी मराठी माध्यमातून शिकलो. दहावीनंतर मी कॉलेजमध्ये गेलो. तिथे मला इंग्रजीचा काहीही त्रास झाला नाही. मी आरामात आणि आनंदाने कॉलेजमध्ये वावरलो. शिकतानाही अडथळे आले नाहीत. खरे सांगू? मनोहरकाका माझ्या सोबतच आहेत, असे मला सतत वाटत राहिले आहे.

मनोहरकाकांची स्मरणशक्ती अफाट आहे. त्यांना देशोदेशीच्या इतक्या घटना, माणसे स्मरणात आहेत की विचारता सोय नाही. त्यांचे घर पुस्तकांनी भरलेले आहे. त्यांचे वाचन अफाट आहे. ते प्राध्यापक आहेत. कॉलेजात इतिहास शिकवतात. इतिहास त्यांच्या जिभेवर असतो. त्यांच्याकडे माहितीचा प्रचंड खजिना आहे. शिवाय त्याचे सगळे छापील पुरावे त्यांनी जपून ठेवले आहेत. साठ – सत्तर वर्षांपासूनची वर्तमानपत्रांची, साप्ताहिकांची, मासिकांची कात्रणे त्यांनी जमा केलेली आहेत. विषयानुसार कालानुक्रमे त्यांनी ती कात्रणे लावली आहेत. त्यांच्या फाईली करून ठेवल्या आहेत. स्पर्धांसाठी, स्पर्धा परीक्षांसाठी मनोहरकाकांचा आम्हांला खूप उपयोग होतो.

मी दहावी पास झालो. मला चांगले गुण मिळाले. मनापासून माझे कौतुक केले. पण त्याच वेळी आमच्या घरात एक पेच निर्माण झाला होता. मला आर्ट्स शाखेत प्रवेश घ्यायची इच्छा होती. माझ्या आई – ५ बाबांना ती कल्पना पसंत नव्हती. आम्ही मनोहरकाकांचा सल्ला घ्यायला गेलो. क्षणाचाही विलंब न लावता त्यांनी माझ्या निर्णयाचे कौतुक केले. मी आर्ट्स शाखेत प्रवेश घेतला. या वर्षी मी बारावीत आहे. कॉलेजातला माझा सगळा काळ आनंदात गेलेला आहे. असे आहेत आमचे मनोहरकाका. त्यांना तुम्ही एकदा जरी भेटलात, तरी त्यांचे मित्र होऊन जाल!

प्रश्न 3.
आत्मवृत्तात्मक निबंध-
मी सह्याद्री बोलतोय.
वृत्तपत्राचे मनोगत.
उत्तर :
आत्मवृत्तात्मक (आत्मकथनात्मक) निबंध

या प्रकारच्या निबंधामध्ये सजीव व निर्जीव वस्तू स्वत:च स्वत:च्या जीवनाचे कथन करीत आहेत, अशी कल्पना केलेली असते. या प्रकाराला आत्मनिवेदन, आत्मवृत्त, मनोगत, कैफियत, गाहाणे इत्यादी वेगवेगळे शब्दही योजले जातात.

या निबंधप्रकारात, निवेदक स्वत:च बोलत असल्याने प्रथमपुरुषी वाक्यरचना येते. या कथनात निवेदकाच्या जन्मापासूनच्या संपूर्ण बारीकसारीक तपशिलांची अपेक्षा नसते. त्याच्या जीवनातील ठळक, महत्त्वाचे मोजकेच प्रसंग वा घडामोडी नमूद कराव्यात. त्या आधारे त्याच्या व्यथा – वेदना कथन कराव्यात; या व्यथा – वेदना कथन करता मानवी जीवनातील, माणसाच्या वर्तनातील विसंगती दाखवून दयाव्यात, अशी अपेक्षा असते. मनोगत व्यक्त करताना सुप्त, अतृप्त इच्छा प्रकट करावी. गा – हाणी, कैफियत लिहिताना निवेदकाच्या सुखदुःखावर भर दयावा. निवेदक स्वतः वाचकाशी बोलत असतो. म्हणून या निबंधाची भाषा साधी व ओघवती असावी. निवेदनात जिव्हाळा, कळकळ, भावनेचा ओलावा व्यक्त झाला पाहिजे.

आत्मवृत्तात्मक (आत्मकथनात्मक) निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

भटक्या जमातीतील एका भटक्याचे मनोगत

[मुद्दे : भटकी जमात सतत भटकत असते – पण दारिद्र्य त्यांच्या पाचवीला पुजलेले – डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांचे प्रयत्न – भटके जीवन – स्थिरता नाही – गावोगावी भटकणे – भटकंतीमुळे सतत ताटातूट – भटकंतीत साथ प्राण्यांची – अपमानित जीवन – फुले, शाहू महाराज, डॉ. आंबेडकर यांच्यामुळे नवीन जीवन – प्रेरणा – अजूनही सुधारणेची गरज.]

“खरोखर आज मला फार आनंद झाला आहे. कारण अशा त – हेने आपल्या मनातील विचार समाजातील सगळ्या लोकांपुढे आपण कधी मांडू शकू, असे मला स्वप्नातही वाटले नव्हते. खरं सांगू का? असं एका जागी उभं राहून बोलण्याचीही मला सवय नाही, कारण… कारण आम्ही आहोत ‘भटके’ लोक ! सतत भटकतच असतो! आमच्या पायांना मुळी चक्रच लावलेलं असतं. पण एक शंका माझ्या मनात बरेच दिवस रेंगाळते आहे. ती तुमच्यापुढे मांडतो. असं म्हणतात की – जो चालतो, त्याचं नशीबही जोरात चालतं. जर असं आहे तर आम्हां भटक्यांचं नशीब का कधीच जोरात धावत नाही? आमची गाठ सदैव दारिद्र्याशीच का? आज वर्षानुवर्षे आम्ही हिंडत आहोत, पण जगातील कोणाचंही आमच्याकडे लक्ष गेलं नाही.

“आता मात्र दिवस हळहळ पालटू लागले आहेत. आमच्या दैन्यावस्थेकडे समाजाचे थोडं थोडं लक्ष जाऊ लागलं आहे. आमच्या मुलांपैकी काहीजण शिकू लागले आहेत. हे घडू लागलं आहे ते आमच्या परमपूज्य डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांमुळे. त्यांनी आम्हांला नवीन डोळे दिले; नवी दृष्टी दिली ! आम्ही अंधश्रद्धेच्या गुडूप अंधारात घनघोर झोपलो होतो. बाबासाहेबांनी आपल्या विचारांनी आम्हांला गदागदा हलवलं; आम्हांला जागं केलं. आम्हांला नवा मार्ग दाखवला. आम्ही त्या मार्गावर एकेक पाऊल टाकत आहोत.

“आता मी माझं मनोगत सांगतोय, तेव्हा मी माझी सुखदुःखे सांगावीत, असं तुमच्या मनात येईल. पण खरं सांगू का? सुखाचे क्षण मला शोधावेच लागतील. सगळं दु:खच दु:ख आलं आहे आमच्या वाट्याला! आम्हां भटक्यांना ना घर ना गाव! आम्ही सर्वजण गटागटाने हिंडत असतो… या गावातून त्या गावात. गावात गेल्यावर मुक्काम गावकुसाबाहेर. तेथेच फाटक्यातुटक्या कापडाच्या राहुट्या उभारतो. त्यांना आम्ही ‘पालं’ म्हणतो. दोन – चार दिवस राहतो. गावात दारोदार हिंडून काही काम मिळालं तर करतो आणि खातो आणि मग पालं गुंडाळून नव्या गावाच्या दिशेने पावलं टाकतो. वर्षानुवर्षे हे असंच चालू आहे.

“खरं सांगू का माझा जन्म कधी झाला व कोठे झाला, हे मला सांगता येणार नाही. आम्ही सगळी भावंडं अशीच भटकंतीत जन्मलो. आमचे जन्म, बारसे, लग्न सगळे या भटकंतीतच. जवळच्या माणसाचा मृत्यू झाला, तरी आम्हांला हे कळतं ते काही महिन्यांनी, कधी कधी तर वर्षानंतरही ! या भटक्या जीवनामुळे सगळ्या भावंडांची गाठ पडते, तीसुद्धा वर्षावर्षानंतर!

“भटक्या जीवनामुळे आम्हांला खडतर जीवनाची सवयच झाली आहे. कष्ट, दैन्य, हालअपेष्टा, मानापमान अशा गोष्टींचं काही वाटेनासंच झालं आहे. कधी कधी आम्ही पालं टाकतो आणि कोणीतरी येऊन शिवीगाळ करून आम्हांला हुसकावतं! आम्ही काहीही न बोलता भीतीने व दुःखी अंत:करणाने तिथून उठतो आणि दुसरीकडे जातो! आम्हांला कायम साथ देतात ती आमची मेंढरं, कुत्री आणि गाढवं ! आजारी पडायलाही आम्हांला फुरसत नसते.

आता आता आमच्यात थोडा बदल झाला आहे. छत्रपती शाहू महाराज हे देवदूतासारखे आमच्यासाठी धावून आले. आमच्यासाठी त्यांनी अपार कष्ट घेतले. आपल्या राजेपणाचे सर्व अधिकार त्यांनी आमच्यासाठी वापरले. आम्हांला स्थिर जीवन मिळावे म्हणून अनेक कल्पक योजना आखल्या. अनेकांची टीका सहन करीत त्या राबवल्या. आम्हांला माणसात आणण्याचा प्रयत्न केला. महात्मा फुले, शाहू महाराज, डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर यांच्यासारख्यांच्या प्रयत्नांमुळे आता आमची मुलं शिकू लागली आहेत. वरच्या पदापर्यंत जाऊ लागली आहेत.

“इतर समाजसुद्धा हळूहळू बदलत आहे. लोक आमची स्थिती समजून घेत आहेत. सरकार आमच्यासाठी विविध योजना आखत आहे, कायदे करीत आहे. पण तरीही अजून खूप सुधारणा होण्याची गरज आहे. मग आपण एकसमान होऊ. आपला देश समर्थ बनेल.”

उत्तर :
कल्पनाप्रधान निबंध

अशक्य वाटणारी गोष्ट शक्य झाल्यास काय घडेल या कल्पनेचा मुक्त वापर करून लिहिलेल्या निबंधाला कल्पनाप्रधान निबंध म्हणतात. आधुनिक जीवनव्यवहारात काही वस्तू अगदी अपरिहार्य झाल्या आहेत. त्या उपलब्ध नसल्यास काय घडेल, याचे वर्णन कल्पनाप्रधान निबंधात करता येते. परंतु त्याच वेळी त्या वस्तूंची आवश्यकता किती आहे, त्यामुळे आपल्या जीवनात किती सौंदर्य निर्माण झाले आहे किंवा किती कृत्रिमता निर्माण झाली आहे, हेही सांगता आले पाहिजे.

या निबंधप्रकाराची सुरुवात एखादया दैनंदिन प्रसंगातून करता येते. अशा निबंधाच्या विषयाची मांडणी करताना आपणाला ज्या गोष्टी सांगायच्या असतात, त्या एखादया कल्पनेभोवती गुंफून सांगाव्यात.

कल्पनाप्रधान निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

आषाढघनाचे आगमन झाले नाही तर?

[मुद्दे : असा प्रश्न मनात येण्याचे कारण – प्रथम जाणवणारा दुष्परिणाम – – निसर्गसौंदर्याचा नाश – आषाढ धो धो पावसाचा महिना – अतिवृष्टीच्या परिणामांपासून मुक्ती – पाण्याच्या अभावाचे परिणाम – मानवी प्रयत्न – पाणी मिळवणे महागडे – पाण्याविना तडफडणारी सर्वच प्राणिसृष्टी – आधुनिक जीवन ठप्प – गरीबश्रीमंत दरी – सर्वनाशाकडे वाटचाल.]

मध्यंतरी कोरोनाने अक्षरश: हैदोस घातला होता. जगातली सर्व कुटुंबे आपापल्या घरात कोंडून पडली होती. माणसाच्या गेल्या दहा हजार वर्षांच्या इतिहासात पहिल्यांदाच घडले हे. निसर्गाने माणसाला शिक्षाच दयायला सुरुवात केली नसेल ना? गेली दहा हजार वर्षे माणूस स्वार्थासाठी निसर्गाला ओरबाडतो आहे. पर्यावरण उद्ध्वस्त करीत आहे. त्याचा बदला तर नाही ना हा? आणखी काय काय घडणार आहे कोण जाणे! सध्याचाच ताप पाहा आधी. तापमानाचा पारा ४०°ला स्पर्श करीत आहे. आता पाऊस येईल तेव्हाच गारवा. त्यातच पाऊस या वर्षी उशिरा आला तर? अरे देवा! पण तो आलाच नाही तर? आषाढघनाचे दर्शनच घडले नाही तर?

परवाच बा. भ. बोरकर यांची कविता वाचत होतो. वाचता वाचता हरखून गेलो होतो. या पावसाळ्यात जायचेच, असा आमच्या घरात बेत आखला जात होता. गावी जायला मिळाले, तर आषाढघनाने नटलेले निसर्गसौंदर्य डोळे भरून पाहता येईल. कोमल, नाजूक पाचूच्या रांगांची हिरवीगार शेते, पोवळ्याच्या रंगाची लाल माती, रत्नांच्या प्रभेसारखी बांबूची बेटे, सोनचाफा, केतकी, जाईजुई यांचे आषाढस्पर्शाने प्रफुल्लित झालेले सौंदर्य अनुभवायला मिळेल, हे खरे आहे. पण पाऊसच नसेल तर?

आषाढ महिना हा धुवाधार पावसाचा महिना. गडगडाटासह धो धो कोसळणाऱ्या पावसाचा महिना. कधी कधी हे आषाढघन रौद्ररूप धारण करतात. गावेच्या गावे जलमय होतात. डोंगरकडे कोसळतात. घरे बुडतात. गटारे ओसंडून वाहतात. सांडपाण्याची, मलमूत्राची सर्व घाण रस्तोरस्ती पसरते. घराघरात घुसते. मुकी जनावरे बिचारी वाहून जातात. हे सर्व परिणाम किरकोळ वाटावेत, अशी भीषण संकटे समोर उभी ठाकतात. दैनंदिन जीवन कोलमडून पडते. रोगराईचे तांडव सुरू होते. पाऊस नसेल, तर हे सर्व टळेल, यात शंकाच नाही.

मात्र, पाण्याशिवाय जीवन नाही. आणि माणूस हा तर करामती प्राणी आहे. तो पाणी मिळवण्याचे मार्ग शोधू लागेल. समुद्राचे पाणी वापरण्याजोगे करण्याचे कारखाने सुरू होतील. त्यामुळे प्यायला पाणी मिळेल. काही प्रमाणात शेती होईल. पण हे जेवढ्यास तेवढेच असेल.

सर्वत्र पाऊस पडत आहे. रान हिरवेगार झाले आहे. फळाफुलांनी झाडे लगडली आहेत, अशी दृश्ये कधीच आणि कुठेही दिसणार नाही. बा. भ. बोरकरांच्या कवितेतील रमणीय दृश्य हे कल्पनारम्य चित्रपटातील फॅन्टसीसारखे असेल फक्त.

समुद्रातून पाणी मिळवण्याचा उपाय तसा खूप महागडा असेल. त्यातून सर्व मानवजातीच्या सर्व गरजा भागवता येणे अशक्य होईल. उपासमार मोठ्या प्रमाणात होईल. दंगली घडतील. लुटालुटीचे प्रकार सुरू होतील.

थोडकीच माणसे शिल्लक राहिली, तर ती जगूच शकणार नाहीत. इतर प्राणी त्यांना जगू देणार नाहीत. माणूस फक्त स्वत:साठी पाणी मिळवील. पण उरलेल्या प्राणिसृष्टीचे काय? ही प्राणिसृष्टी माणसांवर चाल करून येईल. वरवर वाटते तितके जीवन सोपे नसेल. माणसांचे, प्राण्यांचे मृतदेह सर्वत्र दिसू लागतील. त्यांतून कल्पनातीत रोगांची निर्मिती होईल. एकूण काय? ती सर्वनाशाकडची वाटचाल असेल.

पाऊस नसेल, तर वीजही नसेल. एका रात्रीत सर्व कारखाने थंडगार पडतील. पाणी नसल्यामुळे शेती नसेल. फळबागाईत नसेल. नेहमीच्या अन्नधान्यासाठी माणूस समुद्रातून पाणी काढील, इथपर्यंत ठीक आहे. पण अन्य अनेक पिके घेणे महाप्रचंड कठीण होईल. या परिस्थितीतून अल्प माणसांकडे काही अधिकीच्या गोष्टी असतील. बाकी प्रचंड समुदाय दारिद्र्यात खितपत राहील. त्यातून प्रचंड अराजक माजेल. याची भीषण चित्रे रंगवण्याची गरजच नाही. अल्पकाळातच जीवसृष्टी नष्ट होईल. उरेल फक्त रखरखीत, रणरणते वाळवंट. सूर्यमालिकेतील कोणत्याच ग्रहावर जीवसृष्टी अशीच नष्ट झाली नसेल ना?

नको, नको ते प्रश्न आणि त्या दृश्यांची ती वर्णने! एकच चिरकालिक सत्य आहे. ते म्हणजे पाऊस हवा, आषाढघन बरसायला हवाच!

प्रश्न 5.
वैचारिक निबंध –
तंत्रज्ञानाची किमया.
वाचते होऊया.
उत्तर :
वैचारिक निबंध

वैचारिक निबंधात विचाराला महत्त्व असते. मात्र, सर्व वैचारिक निबंध एकाच स्वरूपाचे नसतात. (यामध्ये विचारप्रधान, चिंतनपर, समस्याप्रधान, चर्चात्मक अशा स्वरूपांचे निबंध असतात.) काही निबंधांत विचाराला महत्त्व असते. उदा., ‘अहिंसा हाच श्रेष्ठ धर्म’, ‘दया, क्षमा, शांती हाच जीवनाचा आधार’, ‘त्यागात मैत्रीचा आत्मा’ इत्यादी. काही निबंध समस्याप्रधान असतात. उदा., ‘पर्यावरणाचा हास’, ‘फॅशनचे वेड’, ‘बालमजुरी’, ‘बेकारी’, ‘स्त्रियांवरील अत्याचार’ इत्यादी. अशा निबंधांत समस्या मांडलेली असते आणि त्या अनुषंगाने लेखक आपले विचार मांडतो. तर काही निबंध हे वादविवादात्मक स्वरूपाचे असतात. उदा., ‘मोबाइल – शाप की वरदान’, ‘आजचे तरुण बिघडले आहेत काय?’, ‘आजची स्त्री – अबला की सबला?’ इत्यादी.

वैचारिक निबंध कोणत्याही स्वरूपाचा असला, तरी त्यात एक विचार मांडलेला असतो. कोणत्याही विषयाला नेहमी दोन बाजू असतात. एक अनुकूल आणि दुसरी प्रतिकूल. अशा निबंधात केवळ आपलीच बाजू – म्हणजे अनुकूल बाजू – मांडून चालत नाही. त्या विषयाची दुसरी बाजू – म्हणजे आपल्याला न पटणारी बाजूसुद्धा – मांडावी लागते.

अशा प्रकारच्या निबंधाची मांडणी साधारणपणे पुढील प्रकारची असते :

प्रास्ताविकात विषयाची सदयःस्थिती मांडावी. त्यानंतर विरुद्ध बाजू मांडावी. लगेचच त्या बाजूतील उणिवा दाखवाव्यात. याला ‘खंडन’ असे म्हणतात. मग आपली बाजू मांडावी. याला ‘मंडन’ असे म्हणतात. खंडन – मंडन करताना दाखले दयावेत. अखेरीला आपल्या विचाराबाबतचा स्वत:चा निष्कर्ष नोंदवावा.

वैचारिक निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

सादरीकरण – एक जीवनावश्यक कौशल्य

[मुद्दे : समूहात राहणे ही माणसाची जीवनावश्यक गरज – त्यामुळे इतरांसमोर कौशल्याने सादर होणे – दैनंदिन जीवनात अनौपचारिक सादरीकरण – आधुनिक जीवन गुंतागुंतीचे – सतत विविध समूहांसमोर सादर होण्याची निकड – विशिष्ट कौशल्ये आवश्यक – पूर्वीचे जीवन शांत, संथ – सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यास करणे निकडीचे.]

असे म्हणतात की, माणूस हा सामाजिक प्राणी आहे. तो समूह करून राहतो. तो एकेकटा, स्वतंत्रपणे जगूच शकणार नाही. तो माणसांत, माणसांसोबत राहतो. तो त्याचा जगण्याचा आधारच आहे. हा आधार नसेल, तर माणूस वेडापिसाच होईल. म्हणूनच, प्राचीन काळापासून ते अगदी आजतागायत जगभर सर्व देशांमध्ये माणसाला शिक्षा केली जाते ती तुरुंगवासाची. त्याला त्याच्या कुटुंबीयांपासून, मित्रांपासून, समाजापासून तोडून टाकण्याची ती शिक्षा असते. बाह्य जगाशी कोणताही संपर्क येऊ दयायचा नाही, हीच ती शिक्षा असते. ही शिक्षा माणसाला मृत्युदंडापेक्षाही भीषण वाटत आलेली आहे. समाजात राहणे ही त्याची जीवनावश्यक गरज आहे.

समाजात राहायचे म्हणजे दुसऱ्यांच्या सोबतीने, त्यांच्या सहकार्याने राहायचे. म्हणूनच ज्यांच्यासोबत आपण राहतो, वावरतो त्यांना आपल्या इच्छा – आकांक्षा, भावना – विचार समजावून सांगणे आवश्यक ठरते. इतरांच्या इच्छा – आकांक्षांना तडे न जाता आपल्या मनाप्रमाणे जगता आले पाहिजे. म्हणूनच आपल्या कल्पना – भावना, विचार इतरांना समजावून सांगणे हे अत्यंत कौशल्याचे ठरते. याच्यासाठी सादरीकरणाची गरज आहे. स्वत:ची मते पद्धतशीरपणे समजावून सांगण्यासाठी खास युक्तिवाद करावा लागतो. ही सर्व पद्धत म्हणजेच ‘सादरीकरण’ होय.

सादरीकरणाशिवाय माणूस नाही. सादरीकरण हा माणसाच्या जगण्याचाच एक भाग आहे. आपले बोलणे, चालणे, उठणे, बसणे, वागणे, हातवारे करणे किंबहुना आपली देहबोली हे आपले सादरीकरणच होय. या सादरीकरणातून आपले व्यक्तिमत्त्व व्यक्त होत असते. आपण फारच थोड्या कृती एकट्याने, खाजगीरीत्या करतो. आपले बहुतांशी जगणे इतरांसमोर, इतरांसोबतच घडत असते. म्हणजे आपण इतरांसमोर सदोदित सादरीकरणच करीत असतो म्हणा ना!

हे सादरीकरण अनौपचारिक पद्धतीने घडत असते. म्हणूनच आईवडील किंवा अन्य वडीलधारी माणसे “उठता – बसता काळजी घे”, “असा उभा राहू नकोस, तसा राहा’ या अशा सूचना करतात. इतरांसमोर आपले व्यक्तिमत्त्व चांगल्या रितीने प्रकट व्हावे, ही त्यांची इच्छा असते. म्हणजेच आपल्या देहबोलीला, आपल्या वागण्याबोलण्याला किती महत्त्व आहे, हे लक्षात येईल.

मात्र, आताचे जीवन खूप जटिल बनले आहे. खूप व्यामिश्र बनले आहे. जागतिकीकरणामुळे संपूर्ण मानवी जीवनच ढवळून निघाले आहे. कामांचे स्वरूप व व्याप्ती वाढली आहे. विविध प्रकारचे उदयोगव्यवसाय निर्माण झाले आहेत. संगणक, इंटरनेट, मोबाइल यांसारख्या माहिती तंत्रज्ञानाच्या दूतांमुळे सर्व व्यवहारांचे स्वरूप आरपार बदलले आहे. सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, आर्थिक क्षेत्रांत अनेकानेक घडामोडी घडताहेत. यासाठी चर्चा, परिषदा, मेळावे, बैठका, संमेलने, शिबिरे इत्यादी आयोजित केली जात आहेत. माणसांना विविध कारणांनी असे एकत्र यावे लागत आहे.

अशा वेळी समूहासमोर आपल्या कल्पना, आपली मते व्यक्त करण्याची, सगळ्यांना आपले विचार समजावून सांगण्याची वेळ येते. आधुनिक काळात या सगळ्याला आपल्याला सामोरे जावे लागत आहे. हे टाळता येणे शक्यच नाही. अन्यथा आपल्याला नोकरी, धंदा वा व्यवसाय करताच येणार नाही. येथे सादरीकरणाचा संबंध येतो. अशा या सादरीकरणाशिवाय आपण जगूच शकणार नाही.

काही वर्षांपूर्वीचे जीवन हे शांत, संथ होते. तेथे कोणाला, कशाचीही घाई नव्हती किंवा अगत्यही नव्हते. म्हणून कोणीही सैलपणाने वागला तरी ते चालून जाई. आता मात्र ते शक्य नाही. म्हणून सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यासही करावा लागेल. दुसऱ्यांसमोर आपण सादर होतो तेव्हा, उभे राहणे, बोलणे, हातवारे करणे या सगळ्यांचा काटेकोर अभ्यास करावा लागेल. कोणत्या हेतूने व कोणत्या प्रकारच्या लोकांसमोर आपण उभे राहिलो आहोत, हे लक्षात घेऊन आपल्याला आपल्या सादरीकरणाची रीत ठरवावी लागेल. सादरीकरण हे आता दुर्लक्ष करण्याएवढे बिनमहत्त्वाचे राहिले नाही. आपण शाळा – कॉलेजात अभ्यास करतो, तसा सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यास करावा लागेल. सातत्याने सराव करावा लागेल. तर आणि तरच आपला आधुनिक जगात टिकाव लागणार आहे.

निबंध लेखन प्रस्तावना

निबंध हा गदयलेखनाचा एक प्रकार आहे. त्यात एखादया विषयाची सांगोपांग माहिती सुसंगतपणे दयायची असते.

निबंधात कधी एखादया समस्येचा ऊहापोह केलेला असतो. समस्येचे स्वरूप, कारणे व उपाय या रितीने त्यात मांडणी केलेली असते. कधी एखादी वस्तू, ठिकाण, परिसर, प्रसंग, व्यक्ती यांचे वर्णन असते; तर कधी विविध सजीव – निर्जीव गोष्टींचे आत्मकथन असते. कधी कधी कल्पनेवर स्वार होऊन अनेक गोष्टींच्या अंतरंगात शिरण्याचा प्रयत्न असतो. त्याचप्रमाणे नकारात्मक गुणांचाही निर्देश करायला हरकत नसते. अशा प्रकारे निबंधात आशय विविध रितींनी मांडलेला असतो.

1. लक्षात ठेवा

  • निबंधाची सुरुवात आकर्षक, लक्षवेधक हवी आणि आपले मत ठाशीवपणे मांडणारा परिणामकारक शेवट हवा.
  • सुरुवातीच्या काळात कोणालाही कोणताही निबंध एका दमात, एका झटक्यात लिहिता येत नाही. पुन:पुन्हा सुधारणा करून पुनर्लेखन करावे लागते.
  • परीक्षेत ठरावीक मिनिटांत निबंध लिहावा लागतो. पुन:पुन्हा लिहिण्यास वेळ नसतो. निबंध लिहिण्याचा सातत्याने सराव केला पाहिजे. निबंधाच्या विषयानुसार प्रथम मुद्दे तयार करावेत. ते क्रमाने मांडावेत. मुद्द्यांना अनुसरून परिच्छेद पाडले पाहिजेत.
  • निबंध ठरावीक शब्दसंख्येत बसवावा. या त – हेने वेगवेगळ्या विषयांवरचे निबंध तयार करावेत.
  • म्हणी, वाक्प्रचार, सुभाषिते, विविध भाषांतील अवतरणे यांचा गरजेनुसार व प्रमाणशीर वापर करावा.
  • शब्दरचना व वाक्यरचना अर्थपूर्ण असावी. ज्या शब्दांचा अर्थ निश्चितपणे माहीत नाही, त्यांचा उपयोग करू नये.
  • पाल्हाळीकपणा टाळावा.
  • स्वत:च्या शब्दांतच निबंध लिहावा. दुसऱ्याचा निबंध उतरवून काढू नये किंवा त्याची घोकंपट्टी करू नये.
  • लेखनाचे नियम, विरामचिन्हे यांबाबत दक्षता बाळगावी.
  • शब्दसंपत्ती, भाषाशैली यांचा विकास व्हावा, म्हणून वृत्तपत्रे व पाठ्यपुस्तकेतर पुस्तके यांचे नियमित वाचन अवश्य करावे.
  • टिपणे, कात्रणे यांचा संग्रह करण्याची सवय लावावी.
  • शा प्रकारे सराव केल्यास मुद्देसूदपणे व आटोपशीरपणे निबंध लिहिण्याचे कौशल्य प्राप्त होते. परीक्षेत कोणत्याही विषयावरचा निबंध लिहिण्यास हे कौशल्य उपयोगी पडते.

2. अभ्यासक्रमातील निबंधाचे प्रकार :

निबंधाच्या आशयानुसार निबंधाचे अनेक प्रकार मानले जातात. त्यांपैकी पुढील पाच प्रकार इयत्ता १२वीच्या अभ्यासक्रमात समाविष्ट करण्यात आले आहेत :

कल्पनाप्रधान निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

आषाढघनाचे आगमन झाले नाही तर?

[मुद्दे : असा प्रश्न मनात येण्याचे कारण – प्रथम जाणवणारा दुष्परिणाम – निसर्गसौंदर्याचा नाश – आषाढ धो धो पावसाचा महिना – अतिवृष्टीच्या परिणामांपासून मुक्ती – पाण्याच्या अभावाचे परिणाम – मानवी प्रयत्न – पाणी मिळवणे महागडे – पाण्याविना तडफडणारी सर्वच प्राणिसृष्टी – आधुनिक जीवन ठप्प – गरीबश्रीमंत दरी – सर्वनाशाकडे वाटचाल.]

मध्यंतरी कोरोनाने अक्षरश: हैदोस घातला होता. जगातली सर्व कुटुंबे आपापल्या घरात कोंडून पडली होती. माणसाच्या गेल्या दहा हजार वर्षांच्या इतिहासात पहिल्यांदाच घडले हे. निसर्गाने माणसाला शिक्षाच दयायला सुरुवात केली नसेल ना? गेली दहा हजार वर्षे माणूस स्वार्थासाठी निसर्गाला ओरबाडतो आहे. पर्यावरण उद्ध्वस्त करीत आहे. त्याचा बदला तर नाही ना हा? आणखी काय काय घडणार आहे कोण जाणे! सध्याचाच ताप पाहा आधी. तापमानाचा पारा ४०°ला स्पर्श करीत आहे. आता पाऊस येईल तेव्हाच गारवा. त्यातच पाऊस या वर्षी उशिरा आला तर? अरे देवा! पण तो आलाच नाही तर? आषाढघनाचे दर्शनच घडले नाही तर?

परवाच बा. भ. बोरकर यांची कविता वाचत होतो. वाचता वाचता हरखून गेलो होतो. या पावसाळ्यात जायचेच, असा आमच्या घरात बेत आखला जात होता. गावी जायला मिळाले, तर आषाढघनाने नटलेले निसर्गसौंदर्य डोळे भरून पाहता येईल. कोमल, नाजूक पाचूच्या रांगांची हिरवीगार शेते, पोवळ्याच्या रंगाची लाल माती, रत्नांच्या प्रभेसारखी बांबूची बेटे, सोनचाफा, केतकी, जाईजुई यांचे आषाढस्पर्शाने प्रफुल्लित झालेले सौंदर्य अनुभवायला मिळेल, हे खरे आहे. पण पाऊसच नसेल तर?

आषाढ महिना हा धुवाधार पावसाचा महिना. गडगडाटासह धो धो कोसळणाऱ्या पावसाचा महिना. कधी कधी हे आषाढघन रौद्ररूप धारण करतात. गावेच्या गावे जलमय होतात. डोंगरकडे कोसळतात. घरे बुडतात. गटारे ओसंडून वाहतात. सांडपाण्याची, मलमूत्राची सर्व घाण रस्तोरस्ती पसरते. घराघरात घुसते. मुकी जनावरे बिचारी वाहून जातात. हे सर्व परिणाम किरकोळ वाटावेत, अशी भीषण संकटे समोर उभी ठाकतात. दैनंदिन जीवन कोलमडून पडते. रोगराईचे तांडव सुरू होते. पाऊस नसेल, तर हे सर्व टळेल, यात शंकाच नाही.

मात्र, पाण्याशिवाय जीवन नाही. आणि माणूस हा तर करामती प्राणी आहे. तो पाणी मिळवण्याचे मार्ग शोधू लागेल. समुद्राचे पाणी वापरण्याजोगे करण्याचे कारखाने सुरू होतील. त्यामुळे प्यायला पाणी मिळेल. काही प्रमाणात शेती होईल. पण हे जेवढ्यास तेवढेच असेल.

सर्वत्र पाऊस पडत आहे. रान हिरवेगार झाले आहे. फळाफुलांनी झाडे। लगडली आहेत, अशी दृश्ये कधीच आणि कुठेही दिसणार नाही. बा. भ. बोरकरांच्या कवितेतील रमणीय दृश्य हे कल्पनारम्य चित्रपटातील फॅन्टसीसारखे असेल फक्त.

समुद्रातून पाणी मिळवण्याचा उपाय तसा खूप महागडा असेल. त्यातून सर्व मानवजातीच्या सर्व गरजा भागवता येणे अशक्य होईल. उपासमार मोठ्या प्रमाणात होईल. दंगली घडतील. लुटालुटीचे प्रकार सुरू होतील. थोडकीच माणसे शिल्लक राहिली, तर ती जगूच शकणार नाहीत. इतर प्राणी त्यांना जगू देणार नाहीत. माणूस फक्त स्वत:साठी पाणी मिळवील. पण उरलेल्या प्राणिसृष्टीचे काय? ही प्राणिसृष्टी माणसांवर चाल करून येईल. वरवर वाटते तितके जीवन सोपे नसेल. माणसांचे, प्राण्यांचे मृतदेह सर्वत्र दिसू लागतील. त्यांतून कल्पनातीत रोगांची निर्मिती होईल. एकूण काय? ती सर्वनाशाकडची वाटचाल असेल.

पाऊस नसेल, तर वीजही नसेल. एका रात्रीत सर्व कारखाने थंडगार पडतील. पाणी नसल्यामुळे शेती नसेल. फळबागाईत नसेल. नेहमीच्या अन्नधान्यासाठी माणूस समुद्रातून पाणी काढील, इथपर्यंत ठीक आहे. पण अन्य अनेक पिके घेणे महाप्रचंड कठीण होईल. या परिस्थितीतून अल्प माणसांकडे काही अधिकीच्या गोष्टी असतील. बाकी प्रचंड समुदाय दारिद्र्यात खितपत राहील. त्यातून प्रचंड अराजक माजेल. याची भीषण चित्रे रंगवण्याची गरजच नाही. अल्पकाळातच जीवसृष्टी नष्ट होईल. उरेल फक्त रखरखीत, रणरणते वाळवंट. सूर्यमालिकेतील कोणत्याच ग्रहावर जीवसृष्टी अशीच नष्ट झाली नसेल ना?

नको, नको ते प्रश्न आणि त्या दृश्यांची ती वर्णने! एकच चिरकालिक १ सत्य आहे. ते म्हणजे पाऊस हवा, आषाढघन बरसायला हवाच!

वैचारिक निबंध

वैचारिक निबंधात विचाराला महत्त्व असते. मात्र, सर्व वैचारिक निबंध एकाच स्वरूपाचे नसतात. (यामध्ये विचारप्रधान, चिंतनपर, समस्याप्रधान, चर्चात्मक अशा स्वरूपांचे निबंध असतात.) काही निबंधांत विचाराला महत्त्व असते. उदा., ‘अहिंसा हाच श्रेष्ठ धर्म’, ‘दया, क्षमा, शांती हाच जीवनाचा आधार’, ‘त्यागात मैत्रीचा आत्मा’ इत्यादी. काही निबंध समस्याप्रधान असतात. उदा., ‘पर्यावरणाचा हास’, ‘फॅशनचे वेड’, ‘बालमजुरी’, ‘बेकारी’, ‘स्त्रियांवरील अत्याचार’ इत्यादी. अशा निबंधांत समस्या मांडलेली असते आणि त्या अनुषंगाने लेखक आपले विचार मांडतो. तर काही निबंध हे वादविवादात्मक स्वरूपाचे असतात. उदा., ‘मोबाइल – शाप की वरदान’, ‘आजचे तरुण बिघडले आहेत काय?’, ‘आजची स्त्री – अबला की सबला?’ इत्यादी.

वैचारिक निबंध कोणत्याही स्वरूपाचा असला, तरी त्यात एक विचार मांडलेला असतो. कोणत्याही विषयाला नेहमी दोन बाजू असतात. एक अनुकूल आणि दुसरी प्रतिकूल. अशा निबंधात केवळ आपलीच बाजू – म्हणजे अनुकूल बाजू – मांडून चालत नाही. त्या विषयाची दुसरी बाजू – म्हणजे आपल्याला न पटणारी बाजूसुद्धा – मांडावी लागते.

अशा प्रकारच्या निबंधाची मांडणी साधारणपणे पुढील प्रकारची असते :

प्रास्ताविकात विषयाची सदय:स्थिती मांडावी. त्यानंतर विरुद्ध बाजू मांडावी. लगेचच त्या बाजूतील उणिवा दाखवाव्यात. याला ‘खंडन’ असे म्हणतात. मग आपली बाजू मांडावी. याला ‘मंडन’ असे म्हणतात. खंडन – मंडन करताना दाखले दयावेत. अखेरीला आपल्या विचाराबाबतचा स्वत:चा निष्कर्ष नोंदवावा.

वैचारिक निबंधाचा एक नमुना :

सादरीकरण – एक जीवनावश्यक कौशल्य

[मुद्दे : समूहात राहणे ही माणसाची जीवनावश्यक गरज – त्यामुळे इतरांसमोर कौशल्याने सादर होणे – दैनंदिन जीवनात अनौपचारिक सादरीकरण – आधुनिक जीवन गुंतागुंतीचे – सतत विविध समूहांसमोर सादर होण्याची निकड – विशिष्ट कौशल्ये आवश्यक – पूर्वीचे जीवन शांत, संथ – सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यास करणे निकडीचे.]

असे म्हणतात की, माणूस हा सामाजिक प्राणी आहे. तो समूह करून राहतो. तो एकेकटा, स्वतंत्रपणे जगूच शकणार नाही. तो माणसांत, माणसांसोबत राहतो. तो त्याचा जगण्याचा आधारच आहे. हा आधार नसेल, तर माणूस वेडापिसाच होईल. म्हणूनच, प्राचीन काळापासून ते अगदी आजतागायत जगभर सर्व देशांमध्ये माणसाला शिक्षा केली जाते ती तुरुंगवासाची. त्याला त्याच्या कुटुंबीयांपासून, मित्रांपासून, समाजापासून तोडून टाकण्याची ती शिक्षा असते. बाह्य जगाशी कोणताही संपर्क येऊ दयायचा नाही, हीच ती शिक्षा असते. ही शिक्षा माणसाला मृत्युदंडापेक्षाही भीषण वाटत आलेली आहे. समाजात राहणे ही त्याची जीवनावश्यक गरज आहे.

समाजात राहायचे म्हणजे दुसऱ्यांच्या सोबतीने, त्यांच्या सहकार्याने राहायचे. म्हणूनच ज्यांच्यासोबत आपण राहतो, वावरतो त्यांना आपल्या इच्छा – आकांक्षा, भावना – विचार समजावून सांगणे आवश्यक ठरते. इतरांच्या इच्छा – आकांक्षांना तडे न जाता आपल्या मनाप्रमाणे जगता आले पाहिजे. म्हणूनच आपल्या कल्पना – भावना, विचार इतरांना समजावून सांगणे हे अत्यंत कौशल्याचे ठरते. याच्यासाठी सादरीकरणाची गरज आहे. स्वत:ची मते पद्धतशीरपणे समजावून सांगण्यासाठी खास युक्तिवाद करावा लागतो. ही सर्व पद्धत म्हणजेच ‘सादरीकरण’ होय.

सादरीकरणाशिवाय माणूस नाही. सादरीकरण हा माणसाच्या जगण्याचाच एक भाग आहे. आपले बोलणे, चालणे, उठणे, बसणे, वागणे, हातवारे करणे किंबहुना आपली देहबोली हे आपले सादरीकरणच होय. या सादरीकरणातून आपले व्यक्तिमत्त्व व्यक्त होत असते. आपण फारच थोड्या कृती एकट्याने, खाजगीरीत्या करतो. आपले बहुतांशी जगणे इतरांसमोर, इतरांसोबतच घडत असते. म्हणजे आपण इतरांसमोर सदोदित सादरीकरणच करीत असतो म्हणा ना!

हे सादरीकरण अनौपचारिक पद्धतीने घडत असते. म्हणूनच आईवडील किंवा अन्य वडीलधारी माणसे “उठता – बसता काळजी घे”, “असा उभा राहू नकोस, तसा राहा” या अशा सूचना करतात. इतरांसमोर आपले व्यक्तिमत्त्व चांगल्या रितीने प्रकट व्हावे, ही त्यांची इच्छा असते. म्हणजेच आपल्या देहबोलीला, आपल्या वागण्याबोलण्याला किती महत्त्व आहे, हे लक्षात येईल.

मात्र, आताचे जीवन खूप जटिल बनले आहे. खूप व्यामिश्र बनले आहे. जागतिकीकरणामुळे संपूर्ण मानवी जीवनच ढवळून निघाले आहे. कामांचे स्वरूप व व्याप्ती वाढली आहे. विविध प्रकारचे उदयोगव्यवसाय निर्माण झाले आहेत. संगणक, इंटरनेट, मोबाइल यांसारख्या माहिती तंत्रज्ञानाच्या दूतांमुळे सर्व व्यवहारांचे स्वरूप आरपार बदलले आहे. सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, आर्थिक क्षेत्रांत अनेकानेक घडामोडी घडताहेत. यासाठी चर्चा, परिषदा, मेळावे, बैठका, संमेलने, शिबिरे इत्यादी आयोजित केली जात आहेत. माणसांना विविध कारणांनी असे एकत्र यावे लागत आहे. अशा वेळी समूहासमोर आपल्या कल्पना, आपली मते व्यक्त करण्याची, सगळ्यांना आपले विचार समजावून सांगण्याची वेळ येते. आधुनिक काळात या सगळ्याला आपल्याला सामोरे जावे लागत आहे. हे टाळता येणे शक्यच नाही. अन्यथा आपल्याला नोकरी, धंदा वा व्यवसाय करताच येणार नाही. येथे सादरीकरणाचा संबंध येतो.

अशा या सादरीकरणाशिवाय आपण जगूच शकणार नाही.

काही वर्षांपूर्वीचे जीवन हे शांत, संथ होते. तेथे कोणाला, कशाचीही घाई नव्हती किंवा अगत्यही नव्हते. म्हणून कोणीही सैलपणाने वागला तरी ते चालून जाई. आता मात्र ते शक्य नाही. म्हणून सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यासही करावा लागेल. दुसऱ्यांसमोर आपण सादर होतो तेव्हा, उभे राहणे, बोलणे, हातवारे करणे या सगळ्यांचा काटेकोर अभ्यास करावा लागेल. कोणत्या हेतूने व कोणत्या प्रकारच्या लोकांसमोर आपण उभे राहिलो आहोत, हे लक्षात घेऊन आपल्याला आपल्या सादरीकरणाची रीत ठरवावी लागेल. सादरीकरण हे आता दुर्लक्ष करण्याएवढे बिनमहत्त्वाचे राहिले नाही. आपण शाळा – कॉलेजात अभ्यास करतो, तसा सादरीकरणाचा अभ्यास करावा लागेल. सातत्याने सराव करावा लागेल. तर आणि तरच आपला आधुनिक जगात टिकाव लागणार आहे.

उत्तर :
Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण अलंकार 4

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण अलंकार

अलंकार म्हणजे काय?

अलंकार म्हणजे आभूषणे किंवा दागिने. अधिक सुंदर दिसण्यासाठी व्यक्ती दागिने घालतात, त्याप्रमाणे आपली भाषा अधिक सुंदर, अधिक आकर्षक व अधिक परिणामकारक करण्यासाठी कवी (साहित्यिक) भाषेला अलंकाराने सुशोभित करतात.

एखादया माणसाचे शूरत्व सांगताना → तो शूर आहे → सामान्य वाक्य तो वाघासारखा शूर आहे → आलंकारिक वाक्य. ← असा वाक्यप्रयोग केला जातो.

अशा प्रकारे ज्या ज्या गुणांमुळे भाषेला शोभा येते, त्या त्या गुणधर्मांना भाषेचे अलंकार म्हणतात.

भाषेच्या अलंकारांचे दोन मुख्य प्रकार आहेत :

  • शब्दालंकार
  • अर्थालंकार.

आपल्याला या इयत्तेत

  • अनन्वय
  • अपन्हुती
  • अतिशयोक्ती
  • अर्थान्तरन्यास हे चार अर्थालंकार शिकायचे आहेत.

उपमेय आणि उपमान म्हणजे काय?
पुढील वाक्य वाचा व अधोरेखित शब्दांकडे नीट लक्ष दया : भीमा वाघासारखा शूर आहे.
‘भीमा’ हे उपमेय आहे; कारण भीमाबद्दल विशेष सांगितले आहे. भीमाला वाघाची उपमा दिली आहे.
‘वाघ’ हे उपमान आहे; कारण भीमा हा कसा शूर आहे, ते सांगितले आहे.

म्हणून,

  • ज्याला उपमा देतात, त्यास उपमेय म्हणतात.
  • ज्याची उपमा देतात, त्यास उपमान म्हणतात.

म्हणून,

  • भीमा → उपमेय
  • वाघ → उपमान
  • साधर्म्य गुणधर्म → शूरत्व.

अनन्वय अलंकार
पुढील उदाहरणांचे निरीक्षण करा व कृती सोडवा :

  • आहे ताजमहाल एक जगती तो तोच त्याच्यापरी
  • या आंब्यासारखा गोड आंबा हाच.
  • वरील दोन्ही उदाहरणांतील उपमेये – ताजमहाल, आंबा
  • वरील दोन्ही उदाहरणांतील उपमाने – ताजमहाल, आंबा

निरीक्षण केल्यानंतर वरील उदाहरणांत उपमेय व उपमान एकच आहेत, असे लक्षात येते.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण अलंकार

जेव्हा उपमेयाला कशाचीच उपमा देता येत नाही व जेव्हा उपमेयाला उपमेयाचीच उपमा देतात, तेव्हा अनन्वय अलंकार होतो. [अन् + अन्वय (संबंध) = अनन्वय (अतुलनीय)]

अनन्वय अलंकाराची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • उपमेय हे अद्वितीय असते. त्यास कोणतीच उपमा लागू पडत नाही.
  • उपमेयाला योग्य उपमान सापडतच नाही; म्हणून उपमेयाला उपमेयाचीच उपमा दयावी लागते.

अनन्वय अलंकाराची काही उदाहरणे :

  • ‘झाले बहु, होतिल बहू, आहेतहि बहू, परंतु या सम हा।’
  • या दानासी या दानाहुन अन्य नसे उपमान
  • आईसारखे दैवत आईच!

अपन्हुती अलंकार

पुढील उदाहरणांचे निरीक्षण करा व कृती सोडवा :
उदा., न हे नयन, पाकळ्या उमलल्या सरोजांतिल।
न हे वदन, चंद्रमा शरदिचा गमे केवळ।।

वरील उदाहरणातील –

वरील उदाहरणांत उपमेयांचा निषेध केला आहे व उपमेय, उपमान हे उपमानेच आहे, अशी मांडणी केली आहे.

जेव्हा उपमेयाचा निषेध करून उपमेय हे उपमानच आहे, असे जेव्हा सांगितले जाते, तेव्हा अपन्हुती अलंकार होतो.

अपन्हुती अलंकाराची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • उपमेयाला लपवले जाते व निषेध केला जातो.
  • उपमेय हे उपमेय नसून उपमानच असे ठसवले जाते.
  • निषेध दर्शवण्यासाठी ‘न, नव्हे, नसे, नाहे, कशाचे’ असे शब्द येतात.

अपन्हुती अलंकाराची काही उदाहरणे :

  1. ओठ कशाचे? देठचि फुलल्या पारिजातकाचे।
  2. हे हृदय नसे, परि स्थंडिल धगधगलेले।
  3. मानेला उचलीतो, बाळ मानेला उचलीतो।
    नाही ग बाई, फणा काढुनि नाग हा डोलतो।।
  4. हे नव्हे चांदणे, ही तर मीरा गाते
  5. आई म्हणोनि कोणी। आईस हाक मारी
    ती हाक येई कानी। मज होय शोकारी
    नोहेच हाक माते। मारी कुणी कुठारी.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण अलंकार

अतिशयोक्ती अलंकार
पुढील उदाहरणांचे निरीक्षण करा व त्यातील अतिरेकी (असंभाव्य) वर्णन समजून घ्या :
दमडिचं तेल आणलं, सासूबाईचं न्हाणं झालं
मामंजींची दाढी झाली, भावोजीची शेंडी झाली
उरलं तेल झाकून ठेवलं, लांडोरीचा पाय लागला
वेशीपर्यंत ओघळ गेला, त्यात उंट पोहून गेला.
दमडीच्या तेलात कोणकोणत्या गोष्टी उरकल्या हे सांगताना त्या वस्तुस्थितीपेक्षा कितीतरी गोष्टी फुगवून सांगितल्या आहेत.

जसे की, एका दमडीच्या (पैशाच्या) विकत आणलेल्या तेलात काय काय घडले? →

  • सासूबाईचे न्हाणे
  • मामंजीची दाढी
  • भावोजीची शेंडी
  • कलंडलेले तेल वेशीपर्यंत ओघळले
  • त्यात उंट वाहून गेला.

या सर्व अशक्यप्राय गोष्टी घडल्या. म्हणजेच अतिशयोक्ती केली आहे.
जेव्हा एक कल्पना फुगवून सांगताना त्यातील असंभाव्यता (अशक्यप्रायता) अधिक स्पष्ट करून सांगितलेली असते, तेव्हा अतिशयोक्ती अलंकार होतो.

अतिशयोक्ती अलंकाराची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • एखाद्या गोष्टीचे, प्रसंगाचे, घटनेचे, कल्पनेचे अतिव्यापक फुगवून अशक्यप्राय केलेले वर्णन.
  • त्या वर्णनाची असंभाव्यता, कल्पनारंजकता अधिक स्पष्ट केलेली असते.

अतिशयोक्ती अलंकाराची काही उदाहरणे :

  1. ‘जो अंबरी उफाळतां खुर लागलाहे।
    तो चंद्रमा निज तनुवरि डाग लाहे।।’
  2. काव्य अगोदर झाले नंतर जग झाले सुंदर।
    रामायण आधी मग झाला राम जानकीवर।।
  3. सचिनने आभाळी चेंडू टोलवला।
    तो गगनावरी जाऊन ठसला।।
    तोच दिवसा जैसा दिसतो चंद्रमा हसला।।

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण अलंकार

अर्थान्तरन्यास
पुढील उदाहरणांचे निरीक्षण करा व समजून घ्या :
‘बोध खलास न रुचे अहिमुखी दुग्ध होय गरल।
श्वानपुच्छ नलिकेत घातले होईना सरल।।
[खल = दुष्ट, अहि = साप, गरल = विष, श्वान = कुत्रा, पुच्छ = शेपटी]
दुष्ट माणसाला कितीही उपदेश केला तरी तो आवडत नाही, हे स्पष्ट करताना सापाला पाजलेल्या दुधाचे रूपांतर विषातच होते, हे उदाहरण देऊन ‘कुत्र्याची शेपटी नळीत घातली, तरी वाकडीच राहणार’, हा सर्वसामान्य सिद्धांत मांडला आहे.
एका अर्थाचा समर्थक असा दुसरा अर्थ ठेवणे, हा या अलंकाराचा उद्देश असतो.

एका अर्थाचा समर्थक असा दुसरा अर्थ शेजारी ठेवणे म्हणजेच ५ एक विशिष्ट अर्थ दुसऱ्या व्यापक अर्थाकडे नेऊन ठेवणे व सर्वसामान्य सिद्धांत मांडणे, यास अर्थान्तरन्यास अलंकार म्हणतात.

अर्थान्तरन्यास अलंकाराची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • विशेष उदाहरणावरून एखादा सर्वसामान्य सिद्धांत मांडणे.
  • सामान्य विधानाच्या समर्थनार्थ विशेष उदाहरण देणे.
  • अर्थान्तर – म्हणजे दुसरा अर्थ. न्यास – म्हणजे शेजारी ठेवणे.

अर्थान्तरन्यास अलंकाराची काही उदाहरणे :

  1. तदितर खग भेणे वेगळाले पळाले।
    उपवन-जल-केली जे कराया मिळाले।।
    स्वजन, गवसला जो, त्याजपाशी नसे तो।
    कठिण समय येता कोण कामास येतो?
  2. होई जरी सतत दुष्टसंग
    न पावती सज्जन सत्त्वभंग
    असोनिया सर्प सदाशरीरी
    झाला नसे चंदन तो विषारी
  3. अत्युच्च पदी थोरही बिघडतो हा बोल आहे खरा
  4. जातीच्या सुंदरा काहीही शोभते.

  • तू पुस्तक वाचतोस. (पुरुषबदल केला.)

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण प्रयोग

म्हणजे,
कर्त्याच्या लिंग, वचन व पुरुष बदलामुळे अनुक्रमे वाचतो हे क्रियापद → वाचते, वाचतात, वाचतोस असे बदलले. म्हणजेच कर्त्याप्रमाणे क्रियापद बदलले.

जेव्हा कर्त्याच्या लिंग-वचन-पुरुषाप्रमाणे क्रियापद बदलते, तेव्हा कर्तरी प्रयोग होतो.

कर्तरी प्रयोगाची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • कर्ता प्रथमा विभक्तीत असतो. (प्रत्यय नसतो.)
  • कर्म असल्यास ते प्रथमा किंवा द्वितीया विभक्तीत असते.

प्रथम कर्त्याचे लिंग-वचन बदलू या.

  • सायलीने पुस्तकास वाचले. (लिंगबदल केला.)
  • त्यांनी पुस्तकास वाचले. (वचनबदल केला.)

आता कर्माचे लिंग-वचन बदलूया.

  • समीरने गोष्टीला वाचले. (लिंगबदल केला.)
  • समीरने पुस्तकांना वाचले. (वचनबदल केला.)

म्हणजे,
कर्त्याच्या व कर्माच्या लिंग-वचन बदलाने क्रियापदाचे रूप बदलले नाही. ‘वाचले’ हेच क्रियापद कायम राहिले.

जेव्हा कर्त्याच्या व कर्माच्या लिंग-वचन-पुरुषाप्रमाणे क्रियापदाचे रूप बदलत नाही, तेव्हा भावे प्रयोग होतो.

भावे प्रयोगाची वैशिष्ट्ये (लक्षणे) :

  • कर्म असल्यास द्वितीया विभक्तीत असते. (प्रत्यय असतो.)
  • क्रियापद नेहमी तृतीयपुरुषी, नपुंसकलिंगी, एकवचनी असते. बहुधा ते एकारान्त असते.
  • क्रियापद कर्त्याच्या किंवा कर्माच्या लिंग-वचनाप्रमाणे बदलत नाही.

लक्षात ठेवा :

  • समीर पुस्तक वाचतो. → कर्तरी प्रयोग
  • समीरने पुस्तक वाचले. → कर्मणी प्रयोग
  • समीर पुस्तकास वाचतो. → भावे प्रयोग

(c) योग्यायोग्यतेचा
(d) लंबोदर

  • वरील प्रत्येकी दोन शब्दांतील मधले काही शब्द व विभक्ती प्रत्यय गाळून जोडशब्द तयार केले आहेत.

Maharashtra Board Class 12 Marathi Yuvakbharati Solutions व्याकरण समास

कमीत कमी दोन शब्दांच्या एकत्रीकरणाला समास असे म्हणतात. एकत्रीकरणाने जो नवीन जोडशब्द तयार होतो, त्याला सामासिक शब्द म्हणतात आणि तयार झालेला सामासिक शब्द फोड करून सांगण्याच्या प्रक्रियेला समासाचा विग्रह असे म्हणतात.

सामासिक शब्द – विग्रह

  • प्रतिक्षण – प्रत्येक क्षणाला
  • राष्ट्रार्पण – राष्ट्राला अर्पण
  • योग्यायोग्य – योग्य किंवा अयोग्य
  • लंबोदर – लंब आहे उदर (पोट) असा तो

समासात कमीत कमी दोन शब्द असतात.
समासातील शब्दांना पद म्हणतात.
पहिला शब्द म्हणजे पहिले पद.
दुसरा शब्द म्हणजे दुसरे पद.
समासातील कोणते पद महत्त्वाचे किंवा प्रधान आहे, यावरून समासाचे प्रकार ठरतात.

महत्त्वाचे पद म्हणजे प्रधान पद (+)
कमी महत्त्वाचे पद म्हणजे गौण पद (-)

पहिले पद दुसरे पद समासाचा प्रकार

  • प्रधान गौण = अव्ययीभाव समास (+–) (प्रतिक्षण)
  • गौण प्रधान = तत्पुरुष समास (– +) (राष्ट्रार्पण)
  • प्रधान प्रधान = वंद्व समास (++) (योग्यायोग्य)
  • गौण गौण = बहुव्रीही समास (––) (लंबोदर)

अव्ययीभाव समास

  • या सामासिक शब्दांतील पहिले पद हे महत्त्वाचे आहे व संपूर्ण शब्द वाक्यात क्रियाविशेषण अव्ययाचे कार्य करतो.
ज्या समासातील पहिले पद महत्त्वाचे असते व जो सामासिक शब्द क्रियाविशेषण अव्ययाचे कार्य करतो, त्या समासाला अव्ययीभाव समास म्हणतात.

आ, प्रति, यथा इत्यादी संस्कृत उपसर्ग आणि दर, बिन, बे यांसारखे फारशी उपसर्ग यांच्या साहाय्याने अव्ययीभाव समासातले सामासिक शब्द तयार होतात. तसेच, काही मराठी शब्दांची द्विरुक्ती होऊनही काही सामासिक शब्द तयार होतात. उदा., पुढील शब्द पाहा.

दोन विरुद्धार्थी शब्दबंध घेऊन वाक्य बदलले. पण वाक्याचा अर्थ बदलला नाही.

म्हणून,

वाक्य रूपांतर करताना वाक्याच्या रचनेत बदल झाला, तरी वाक्याच्या अर्थात बदल होता कामा नये.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Balbharti Maharashtra State Board 11th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry Important Questions and Answers.

Maharashtra State Board 11th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Question 1.
Define chemistry.
Answer:
Chemistry is the study of matter, its physical and chemical properties and the physical and chemical changes it undergoes under different conditions.

Question 2.
Why is chemistry called a central science?
Answer:

  1. Knowledge of chemistry is required in the studies of physics, biological sciences, applied sciences, and earth and space sciences.
  2. Chemistry is involved in every aspect of day-to-day life, i.e. the air we breathe, the food we eat, the fluids we drink, our clothing, transportation and fuel supplies, etc.

Hence, chemistry is called a central science.

Question 3.
Give reason: Although chemistry has ancient roots, it has developed as a modern science.
Answer:
Technological development in sophisticated instruments have expanded knowledge of chemistry which, now, has been used in applied sciences such as medicine, dentistry, engineering, agriculture and in daily home use products. Hence, due to development and advancement in science and technology, chemistry has developed as modem science.

Question 4.
How is chemistry traditionally classified?
Answer:
Chemistry is traditionally classified into five branches:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Inorganic chemistry
  • Physical chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical chemistry

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Question 5.
Explain the following terms:
i. Organic chemistry
ii. Inorganic chemistry
iii. Physical chemistry
Answer:
i. Organic chemistry: It deals with properties and reactions of compounds of carbon.
ii. Inorganic chemistry: It deals with the study of all the compounds which are not organic.
iii. Physical chemistry: It deals with the study of properties of matter, the energy changes and the theories, laws and principles that explain the transformation of matter from one form to another. It also provides basic framework for all the other branches of chemistry.

Question 6.
Distinguish between
i. Mixtures and pure substances
ii. Mixtures and compounds
Answer:
i.

Mixtures Pure substances
a. Mixtures have no definite chemical composition. Pure substances have a definite chemical composition.
b. Mixtures have no definite properties. Pure substances always have the same properties regardless of their origin.
e.g. Paint (mixture of oils, pigment, additive), concrete (a mixture of sand, cement, water), etc. Pure metal, distilled water, etc.

ii.

Mixtures Compounds
a. Mixtures have no definite chemical composition. Compounds are made up of two or more elements in fixed proportion.
b. The constituents of a mixture can be easily separated by physical method. The constituents of a compound cannot be easily separated by physical method.
e.g. Paint (mixture of oils, pigment, additive), concrete (a mixture of sand, cement, water), etc. Water, table salt, sugar, etc.

Question 7.
What is the difference between element and compound?
Answer:
Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances while compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical changes.

Question 8.
Explain: States of matter
Answer:
There are three different states of matter as follows:

  1. Solid: Particles are held tightly in perfect order. They have definite shape and volume.
  2. Liquid: Particles are close to each other but can move around within the liquid.
  3. Gas: Particles are far apart as compared to that of solid and liquid.

These three states of matter can be interconverted by changing the conditions of temperature and pressure.

Question 9.
Explain: Physical and chemical properties
Answer:
i. Physical properties: These are properties which can be measured or observed without changing the identity or the composition of the substance. e.g. Colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.

ii. Chemical properties: These are properties in which substances undergo change in chemical composition. e.g. Coal bums in air to produce carbon dioxide, magnesium wire bums in air in the presence of oxygen to form magnesium oxide, etc.

Maharashtra Board Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Question 10.
How are properties of matter measured?
Answer:

  • Measurement involves comparing a property of matter with some fixed standard which is reproducible and unchanging.
  • Properties such as mass, length, area, volume, time, etc. are quantitative in nature and can be measured.
  • A quantitative measurement is represented by a number followed by units in which it is measured.
  • These units are arbitrarily chosen on the basis of universally accepted standards. e.g. Length of class room can be expressed as 10 m. Here, 10 is the number and ‘m’ is the unit ‘metre’ in which the length is measured.

Question 11.
Define: Units
Answer:
The arbitrarily decided and universally accepted standards are called units.
e.g. Metre (m), kilogram (kg).

Question 12.
What are the various systems in which units are expressed?
Answer:
Units are expressed in various systems like CGS (centimetre for length, gram for mass and second for time), FPS (foot, pound, second) and MKS (metre, kilogram, second) systems, etc.

Question 13.
What are SI units? Name the fundamental SI units.
Answer:
SI Units: In 1960, the general conference of weights and measures proposed revised metric system, called International system of Units i.e. SI system (abbreviated from its French name).
The seven fundamental SI units are as given below:

No. Base physical quantity SI unit Symbol
i. Length Metre k
ii. Mass Kilogram kg
iii. Time Second s
iv. Temperature Kelvin K
v. Amount of substance Mole mol
vi. Electric current Ampere A
vii. Luminous intensity Candela cd

[Note: Units for other quantities such as speed, volume, density, etc. can be derived from fundamental SI units.]

Question 14.
What is the basic unit of mass in the SI system?
Answer:
The basic unit of mass in the SI system is kilogram (kg).

Question 15.
Name the following:
i. Full form of CGS unit system

Question 16.
Give reason: The mass of a body is more fundamental property than its weight.
Answer:

  • Mass is an inherent property of matter and is the measure of the quantity of matter of a body.
  • The mass of a body does not vary with respect to its position.
  • On the other hand, the weight of a body is a result of the mass and gravitational attraction
  • Weight varies because the gravitational attraction of the earth for a body varies with the distance from the centre of the earth.

Hence, the mass of a body is more fundamental property than its weight.

Solution:
Given: Volume of ammonia at STP = 67.2 dm3
To find: Number of moles and molecules of ammonia
Formulae: i. Number of moles of a gas (n) = \(\frac{\text { Volume of a gas at STP }}{\text { Molar volume of a gas }}\)
ii. Number of molecules = Number of moles × 6.022 × 1023 molecules mol-1
Calculation: Molar volume of a gas = 22.4 dm3 mol-1 at STP.
Number of moles (n) = \(\frac{\text { Volume of a gas at STP }}{\text { Molar volume of a gas }}\)
Number of moles of NH3 = \(\frac{67.2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}}{22.4 \mathrm{dm}^{3} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\)
Number of molecules = Number of moles × 6.022 × 1023 molecules mol-1
3.0 mol × 6022 × 1023 molecules mol-1
= 18.066 × 1023 molecules
Ans: Number of moles of ammonia = 3.0 mol
Number of molecules of ammonia = 18.066 × 1023 molecules

Question 63.
3.40 g of ammonia at STP occupies volume of 4.48 dm3. Calculate molar mass of ammonia.
Solution:
Given: Mass of ammonia = 3.40 g
Volume at STP = 4.48 dm3
To Find: Molar mass of ammonia
Calculation: Let ‘x’ grams be the molar mass of NH3.
Molar volume of a gas = 22.4 dm3 mol-1 at STP.
Volume occupied by 3.40 g of NH3 at S.T.P = 4.48 dm3
Volume occupied by ‘x’ g of NH3 at S.T.P = 22.4 dm3
∴ x = \(\frac{22.4 \times 3.40}{4.48}\) = 17.0 g mol-1
Ans: Molar mass of ammonia is 17.0 g mol-1.

Question 64.
Veg puffs from a particular bakery have an average mass of 27.0 g, whereas egg puffs from the same bakery have an average mass of 40 g.
i. Suppose a person buys 1 kg of veg puff from the bakery. Calculate the number of veg puffs he receives.
ii. Determine the mass of egg puffs (in kg) that will contain the same number of eggs puffs as in one kilogram of veg puffs.
Solution:
i. Mass of a veg puff = 27.0 g = 0.027 kg
∴ Number of veg puffs in 1 kg = 1 / 0.027 = 37
ii. One kilogram of veg puffs contains 37 veg puffs.
Mass of 37 egg puffs = 37 × 0.040 = 1.48 kg
Ans: i. 37 veg puffs in 1 kg of puff.
ii. Mass of 37 egg puffs is 1.48 kg
