Question 4.
The -ve charged particles is called:
(a) Anion
(b) Cation
(c) Radical
(d) Atom

Answer
Answer: (a) Anion
Explanation:
A charged particle, also called an ion, is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
This happens whenever something called an ionic bond forms.
Two particles that have different numbers of electrons (the smallest particle in an
atom which is negative) start reacting to each other.
The particle that has the greater amount of electrons takes the other particles
electrons.
One becomes positive because it lost an electron, and the other negative because it
got another electron.
The two particles become attracted to each other and mix together, making a new
kind of particle.

As the given sulphate is isomorphous with ZnSO4.7H2O its formula would be
MSO4.7H2O.m is the atomic weight of M, molecular weight of MSO4.7H2O
= (m + 32 + 64 + 126) = (m + 222)
Hence % of M= [(m)/ (m+222)] × 100 = 9.87(given)
Or
100 m = (9.87 m + 222 × 9.87)
Or 90.13 m = (222 × 9.87)
Or m = (222 × 9.87)/(90.13)
= 24.3.

Question 20.
The S.I unit of temperature is :
(a) Kelvin
(b) Celsius
(c) Fahrenheit
(d) Centigrade

Answer
Answer: (a) Kelvin
Explanation:
The SI unit of temperature is the Kelvin. Although the Celsius temperature scale is
BY,
SHANTANU TELANG
also used, it is considered a derived SI unit and is generally used to measure
everyday temperatures.

In the Kelvin scale, the lowest possible temperature is 0 K. This reading is called
absolute zero; however, nothing could possibly ever reach this temperature.
Absolute zero, according to the Celsius scale, is approximately minus 273 degrees
Celsius. Water boils at 373 Kelvin and freezes at 273 Kelvin.

Scientists discovered absolute zero when they figured that as temperature

decreases, the volume of a gas also gets smaller. They graphed this relationship and
found that for each substance tested, zero volume for each substance would
hypothetically occur around minus 273 degrees Celsius, the equivalent of absolute
zero.

Question 4.
A gas absorbs a photon of 355 nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the
emissions is at 680 nm, the other is at:
(a) 518 nm
(b) 1035 nm
(c) 325 nm
(d) 743 nm

Answer
Answer: (d) 743 nm
Explanation:
From Law of Conservation of energy, energy of absorbed photon must be equal to
combined energy of two emitted photons.
ET = E1 + E2 ….. (1)
Where E1 is Energy of first emitted photon emitted and E2is Energy of second emitted
photon.
Energy E and wavelength λ of a photon are related by the equation
E= (hc)/ (λ)….. (2)
Where Plancks constant = h, c is velocity of light.
Substituting the values from (2) in (1) we get
(hc/λT) = (hc)/ (λ1) + (hc)/ (λ2)
Or (1λT) = (1λ1) + (1λ2) …… (3)
Substituting given values in (3) we get
(1355) = (1680) + (1λ2)
Or (1)(λT) = (1355) − (1680)
⇒ (1λ2) = (680 − 355)/ (355 × 680)
⇒ λ2 = 742.77nm

Answer
Answer: (c) Spin quantum number
Explanation:
Electrons occupying the same orbital are distinguished by Spin quantum number.
For spin Quantum number it has two values +1/2 or -1/2,
Hence the value of n, l , m are same for the two electrons occupying in the same
orbitals, but only the is different, which is
Therefore, Spin quantum number explains the direction through which the electron
spins in an orbital. so obviously there are only 2 possible directions. Which is either
clockwise or anticlockwise.
So the electron which are available in the same orbitals, must have opposite spins.
Hence spin quantum number distinguished b/w the two electrons.

Pauling explained electronegativity as the power of an atom in a molecule to attract
electrons towards it. When we analyse the trend in periodic table, we can see that
the degree of electronegativity decreases while going down the groups, while it
increases across the periods. In the case of a covalent bond, based on the bond
energies, Pauling calculated the differences in electronegativity between atoms in
the bond and assigned a value of 4 to fluorine, which is the most electronegative
element, and others were calculated with respect to that value. Hence, on paulings
scale, the element next to fluorine is Oxygen.

Question 6.
Among the following the maximum covalent character is shown by the compound
(a) MgCl2
(b) FeCl2
(c) SnCl2
(d) AlCl3

Answer

Answer: (d) AlCl3

Explanation:
We know that, extent of polarisation ∝ covalent character in ionic bond. Fajans rule states
that the polarising power of cation increases, with increase in magnitude of positive charge
on the cation Therefore, polarising power ∝ charge of cation.

The polarising power of cation increases with the decrease in the size of a cation. Therefore,
polarising (power) ∝ (1)/ (size of cation)
Here the AlCl3 is satisfying the above two conditions i.e., Al is in +3 oxidation state and also
has small size. So it has more covalent character.

Question 7.
Among the following mixtures, dipole-dipole as the major interaction, is present in
(a) benzene and ethanol
(b) acetonitrile and acetone
(c) KCl and water
(d) benzene and carbon tetrachloride

Answer

Answer: (b) acetonitrile and acetone

Explanation:
Dipole-dipole interactions occur among the polar molecules. Polar molecules have permanent
dipoles. The positive pole of one molecule is thus attracted by the negative pole of the other
molecule. The magnitude of dipole-dipole forces in different polar molecules is predicted on
the basis of the polarity of the molecules, which in turn depends upon the electro negativities
of the atoms present in the molecule and the geometry of the molecule (in case of polyatomic
molecules, containing more than two atoms in a molecule).

(b) A2B3
(c) A3B2
(d) A2B

Answer

BY,
SHANTANU TELANG
Answer: (b) A2B3
Explanation:
A has 3 electrons in outermost orbit and B has 6 electrons in its outermost orbits. So A can
give three electrons to complete its octet and B needs 2 electrons to complete its octet. So 2
atoms of A will release 6 electrons and 3 atoms of B will need six electrons to complete their
octet
So, the formula will be A2B3

Question 11.

Based on lattice enthalpy and other considerations which one the following alkali
metals chlorides is expected to have the higher melting point?
(a) RbCl
(b) KCl
(c) NaCl
(d) LiCl

Answer

Answer: (c) NaCl

Explanation:
The highest melting point will be NaCl, it is because, the lattice energy decreases as the size
of alkali metal increases so going down the group the melting point decreases, but due to the
covalent bonding in LiCl, its melting point is lower than NaCl and so NaCl is expected to
have maximum melting point in the alkali chlorides.

dipoles. The positive pole of one molecule is thus attracted by the negative pole of the other
molecule. The magnitude of dipole-dipole forces in different polar molecules is predicted on
the basis of the polarity of the molecules, which in turn depends upon the electro negativities
of the atoms present in the molecule and the geometry of the molecule (in case of polyatomic

(b) Mg2+ < Be2+ < K+ < Ca2+
(c) Be2+ < K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+
(d) K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Be2+

Answer

Answer: (d) K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Be2+

Explanation:
High charge and small size of the cations increases polarisation.
As the size of the given cations decreases as
K+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Be2+
Hence, polarising power decreases as K+ < Ca2+ < Mg2+ < Be2+

(b) 3 sigma (s) and 2 pi (p) bonds
(c) 4 sigma (s) and 1 pi (p) bonds
(d) 5 sigma (s) and 1 pi (p) bonds

Answer

Answer: (d) 5 sigma (s) and 1 pi (p) bonds

Explanation:
According to valence bond theory, two atoms form a covalent bond through the overlap of
individual half-filled valence atomic orbitals, each containing one unpaired electron. In
ethene, each hydrogen atom has one unpaired electron and each carbon is sp² hybridized with
one electron each sp² orbital. The fourth electron is in the p orbital that will form the pi bond.

one.

Question 20.
Which of the following is a linear molecule?
(a) ClO2
(b) CO2
(c) NO2
(d) SO2

Answer

Answer: (b) CO2

Explanation:
The steric number of central atom of a linear molecule is two. It has two bonded atoms and
zero lone pair. All the molecules have two bonded atoms. Thus, we need to work out the
number of lone pairs.
In ClO2, the central atom Cl has 7 valence electrons. Four are used up to form 4 bonds with O
atoms. Three are non-bonding electrons. Thus, along with an odd electron, it has a lone pair.
In CO2, the central C atom has 4 valence electrons. All are used up to form four bonds with O
atoms. Thus, it has zero lone pair.
In NO2, the central N atom has 5 valence electrons. Four are used up to form bonds with
oxygen atoms. Thus, one electron is left as an odd electron.
In SO2, the central S atom has 6 valence electrons. Four are used up to form bonds with
oxygen atoms. Two nonbonding electrons form one lone pair.

(c) + 3
(d) – 7

Answer
Answer: (a) + 7
Explanation:
Cl show different oxidation state as -1 to +7 due to vacant d orbital. As oxygen is
more electronegative than Cl. Oxygen size is small hence its more electronegative
and show -2 oxidation states.
Here Cl2O7 then equation is: 2x + 7 × (-2) = 0

Question 2.
What is known as Autooxidation?
(a) Formation of H2O by the oxidation of H2O2.
(b) Formation of H2O2 by the oxidation of H2O.
(c) Both (1) and (2) are true
(d) None of the above

Answer
Answer: (b) Formation of H2O2 by the oxidation of H2O.
Explanation:
Autoxidation is any oxidation that occurs in presence of oxygen. The term is usually
used to describe the degradation of organic compounds in air (as a source of
oxygen). Autoxidation produces hydroperoxides and cyclic organic peroxides. These
species can react further to form many products. The process is relevant to many
phenomena including aging, paint, and spoilage of foods, degradation of
petrochemicals, and the industrial production of chemicals. Autoxidation is important
because it is a useful reaction for converting compounds to oxygenated derivatives,
and also because it occurs in situations where it is not desired (as in the destructive
cracking of the rubber in automobile tires or in rancidification).

Water automatically gets oxidised to hydrogen peroxide.

Question 6.
One mole of N2H4 loses ten moles of electrons to form a new compound A. Assuming
that all the nitrogen appears in the new compound, what is the oxidation state of
nitrogen in A? (There is no change in the oxidation state of hydrogen.)
(a) -1
(b) -3
(c) +3
(d) +5

Answer
Answer: (c) +3
Explanation:
First to find oxidation number of Nitrogen in N2H4
Oxidation number of H = +1
Let oxidation number of nitrogen be x
2x + 4(1) = 0
2x = -4
x = -2
Each nitrogen atom has -2 oxidation number. So taken both nitrogen atoms in
account gives oxidation number -4.
Change in oxidation number of nitrogen on losing 10 mol of electrons (considering
no change in oxidation number of hydrogen atoms)
-4 – (-10) = +6
Therefore, oxidation number of 2 nitrogen atoms in compound Y is +6. Hence,
oxidation number of each nitrogen atom will be +3 in new compound Y.

Let oxidation number of nitrogen be x
2x + 4(1) = 0
2x = -4
x = -2
Each nitrogen atom has -2 oxidation number. So taken both nitrogen atoms in
account gives oxidation number -4.
Change in oxidation number of nitrogen on losing 10 mol of electrons (considering
no change in oxidation number of hydrogen atoms)
-4 – (-10) = +6
Therefore, oxidation number of 2 nitrogen atoms in compound Y is +6. Hence,
oxidation number of each nitrogen atom will be +3 in new compound Y.

Metals generally react with dilute acids to produce hydrogen gas. Which one of the
following metals does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
(a) Copper
(b) Magnesium
(c) Iron
(d) Silver

Answer
Answer: (b) Magnesium
Explanation:
Most of the metals such as Al, Cu, Fe etc. reacts with dilute acids to produce
hydrogen gas but magnesium is an exception. Magnesium being an active metal
liberates dihydrogen gas as it is allowed to react with dilute HCl. Thus all the given
metals react with dilute acids.
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

Question 18.
The oxidation number of Xe in BaXeO6 is
(a) 8
(b) 6
(c) 4
(d) 10

Answer
Answer: (d) 10
Explanation:
Oxidation state of Ba in general = +2 and of O = −2
Applying formula, Sum of total oxidation state of all atoms = Overall charge on the
compound.
Let oxidation state of Xe in BaXeO6 be x.
2 + x + 6(−2) = 0,
x = 10
But oxidation state 10 is not possible for Xe. In this case the oxidation state of Xe is
equal to maximum possible oxidation state for Xe = +8.

displaces silver from silver nitrate solution and form copper nitrate solution.

Question 20.
A standard reduction electrode potentials of four metals are A = -0.250 V, B = -0.140
V, C = -0.126 V, D = -0.402 V The metal that displaces A from its aqueous solution
is:
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D

Answer
Answer: (d) D
Explanation:
Reduction potential of D is minimum i.e. −0.402 V. Thus oxidation potential of D is
maximum i.e. to +0.402 V. D can oxidise itself and reduce other.
The aqueous solution A will be present in its ionic form and can be reduced by D as
its reduction potential is higher than D.
Thus D can replace A from its Aqueous solution.

Question 6.
Water shows anomalous behavior between
(a) 0 to 4°C
(b) 0 to 5°C
(c) 0 to -4°C
(d) 4 to 0°C

Answer
Answer: (a) 0 to 4°C
Explanation:
Water show a wide range of anomalies compared to similar liquids or hydrides of

BY,
SHANTANU TELANG
other group 16 elements. One of the most talked-about anomalies is the formation of
ice from liquid water and how the density changes when we cool the water.

O is a small atom and highly electronegative compared to Hydrogen. So O attracts

the covalent clouds of O-H towards itself, thus making water a polar molecule. The
hydrogen bonding in water molecules causes high boiling point and liquid state
compared to other hydrides of group 16.

When we cool water from higher temperature, the density steadily decreases. At 4
degree C it is the highest. But below 4 degree C, The H-bonds break between the
molecules and the molecules get drifted further apart, the volume increases and
density decreases. The crystalline form of water is ice. At atmospheric pressure ice
crystallises in the hexagonal form, but at very low temperatures it condenses to cubic
form leaving gap between the structures, thus increasing the volume again.

Density of ice is less than that of water. Therefore, an ice cube floats on water. In
winter season ice formed on the surface of a lake provides thermal insulation which
ensures the survival of the aquatic life.

Explanation:
BY,
SHANTANU TELANG
A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically
neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively
charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen
constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.

In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (called “atomic hydrogen”) are
extremely rare. Instead, a hydrogen atom tends to combine with other atoms in
compounds, or with another hydrogen atom to form ordinary (diatomic) hydrogen
gas, H2. “Atomic hydrogen” and “hydrogen atom”

Question 9.
The volume strength of 1.5 NH2O2 solution is :
(a) 4.8
(b) 5.2
(c) 8.8
(d) 8.4

Answer
Answer: (d) 8.4
Explanation:
Strength =Normality ×Equivalent Weight of H2O2
= 1.5N × 1.7gL-1 = 25.5gL-1
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
68g 22400 mLat STP
68 g of H2O gives = 22400 mL of O2 at STP
25.5 gH2O2 gives = 2240068 × 25.5 = 8400 mL of O2 at STP
25.5g of H2O2 is present in 1000 mL of H2O2 solution
1000 mL of H2O2 gives 8400 mL of O2 at STP
1 mL of H2O2 gives 84001000 mL of O2 at STP
= 8.4mL of O2
Hence, volume strength of 1.5NH2O2 = 8.4 volume.
Or mass of H2O2 in 1.5N solution
= Equivalent Weight of H2O2 × 1.5N
= 17 × 1.5 = 25.5 g/L
Hence, volume strength of 1.5NH2O2 solution
= 22.4 × 25.568 = 8.4

Question 11.
Hydrogen has isotopes
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5

Answer
