Question 1. Which of the following phenomenon is considered responsible for Global Warming?
  1.    Greenhouse effect
  2.    Fire in coal mines
  3.    Dry farming
  4.    Monsoon
  5.    Trade winds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Greenhouse effect
Modern global warming is the result of an increase in magnitude of the so-called greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth's surface and lower atmosphere caused by the presence of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and other greenhouse gases.
Question 2. The nucleus of an atom consists of
  1.    electrons and neutrons
  2.    electrons and protons
  3.    protons and neutrons
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> protons and neutrons
The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons.
Question 3. The number of moles of solute present in 1 kg of a solvent is called its
  1.    molality
  2.    molarity
  3.    normality
  4.    formality
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> molality
Molality is the property of a a solution that is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Question 4. The most electronegative element among the following is
  1.    sodium
  2.    bromine
  3.    fluorine
  4.    oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> fluorine
Fluorine is the most electronegative element and also the most reactive non-metal.
Question 5. The metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulphate is
  1.    Na
  2.    Ag
  3.    Hg
  4.    Fe
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Fe
The metal used to recover copper from a solution of copper sulphate is Fe.
Question 6. A subshell with l = 2 can take up
  1.    3 electron
  2.    5 electron
  3.    8 electron
  4.    10 electron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10 electron
l = 2 corresponds to d orbitals which can take upto 10 electrons.
Question 7. The scientist who experimentally proved the existence of positron is
  1.    Fermi
  2.    Anderson
  3.    Bohr
  4.    Bethe
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Anderson
In 1932 Carl Anderson, a young professor at the California Institute of Technology in the US, was studying showers of cosmic particles in a cloud chamber and saw a track left by "something positively charged, and with the same mass as an electron".
Question 8. When cathode rays strike a target of high atomic weight, they give rise to
  1.    alpha-rays
  2.    beta and gamma rays
  3.    X-rays
  4.    Positive rays
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> X-rays
When cathode rays strike a solid target of high atomic weight and high melting point such as tungsten, molybdenum, etc, they give rise to a highly penetrating radiation called the X-rays (LIT Physics by Dr. P.K Agarwal).
Question 9. Two electrons in an orbital are differentiated by which of the following ?
  1.    Magnetic quantum number
  2.    Spin quantum number
  3.    Principal quantum number
  4.    Azimuthal quantum number
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Spin quantum number
Spin quantum number is the is the fourth quantum number that differentiates two electrons in the same orbital. The Pauli exclusion principle states that “no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. This means that no two electrons can have the same state in an atom. Each electron must have a different spin or occupy a different shell from any other.
Question 10. How many electrons can be accommodated in d-orbital?
  1.    3
  2.    6
  3.    8
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 10
10 electrons can be accommodated in d-orbital.
