Question 51. "Paramagnetism" is the property of
  1.    Paired electrons
  2.    Completely filled electronics subshells
  3.    Unpaired electrons
  4.    Completely vacant electronic subshells
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Unpaired electrons
Paramagnetism is due to the presence of unpaired electrons in the material, so most atoms with incompletely filled atomic orbitals are paramagnetic, although exceptions such as copper exist.
Question 52. The structure of NaCl crystal is
  1.    Body centered cubic
  2.    Face centered cubic
  3.    Octahedral
  4.    Square planar
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Face centered cubic
The structure of NaCl crystal is face centered cubic.
Question 53. Zone refining is used for the purification of
  1.    Au
  2.    Ge
  3.    Ag
  4.    Cu
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Ge
Zone refining is a very useful method to get metals with very high purity such as silicon and germanium. It is also referred to as zone melting, floating zone process, and travelling melting zone.
Question 54. The gas used for artificial ripening of green fruit is
  1.    ethylene
  2.    ethane
  3.    carbon dioxide
  4.    acetylene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ethylene
Ethylene gas, acetylene gas liberated from calcium carbide, and ethephon are some of the commercial ripening agents used successfully in the trade and they have been widely studied for their effectiveness on initiating and accelerating the ripening process and their effect on fruit quality and health related issues. Green fruits are ripened by ethylene gas.
Question 55. The high reactivity of fluorine is due to
  1.    its high electro negativity
  2.    small size of fluorine atom
  3.    availability of d-orbitals
  4.    strong F - F bond
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> its high electro negativity
The high reactivity of fluorine is due to its high electronegativity.
Question 56. The main chemical constituent of the oil of cardamom which is responsible for flavour of this oil is
  1.    cineole
  2.    engenol
  3.    geraniol
  4.    limonene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> cineole
The main chemical constituent of the oil of cardamom which is responsible for flavour of this oil is cineole.
Question 57. The molecule which has the highest percentage of ionic character among the following is
  1.    HI
  2.    HF
  3.    HCI
  4.    HBr
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> HF
HF has the highest percentage of ionic character because F has the greatest electronegativity. F, Cl, I, and Br are all in the same group so that means their electronegativity (and thus percentage of ionic character) decreases as they go down the group in the periodic table.
Question 58. The hardest form of carbon is
  1.    coke
  2.    graphite
  3.    diamond
  4.    charcoal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> diamond
The allotropes of carbon include graphite, one of the softest known substances, and diamond, the hardest naturally occurring substance.
Question 59. The most important ore of aluminium is
  1.    bauxite
  2.    magnetite
  3.    haematite
  4.    monazite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> bauxite
Bauxite is the most common aluminum ore.
Question 60. The hottest part of the gas flame is known as
  1.    luminous zone
  2.    dark zone
  3.    blue zone
  4.    non-luminous zone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> luminous zone
The hottest part of the gas flame is known as luminous zone.
