what is ORPHAN CI?--Isolated CIs without any relationships with other IT Components
What is stale CI? --> attributes Not updated since long still in use
What is the difference between asset and CI?--> Asset drives financial aspect while CI is more of its contribution as an IT Component. every CI is not an asset but every asset in a CI.
How you will identify duplicate CI?-- You need to define the Key attribute for a given Class and then see for all CI those keys are same in CMDB class. Key attributes in service now is defined as Identification attributes fr a given class.
What are the attributes of class? You should be aware of atleast 5-6 classes and its attributes?--> You can refer service now class manager it will give you all in details.
What is suggested relationship?--> as per Service now what relationships exists between two different Cis like Service host and sql instance , Service host and application etc.
What are the relationships available in CMDB with example? --> Refer service now docs and class manager.It will lead you per class wise.
What is the CMDB Data Model? You should aware about hierarchy of 3-4 classes-- Refer this docs

Hope this helps.
