Question 21. The isotope of uranium capable of sustaining chain reaction is
  1.    U-235
  2.    U-245
  3.    U-239
  4.    U-238
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> U-235
The isotope of uranium capable of sustaining chain reaction is U-235.
Question 22. The age of most ancient geological formations is estimated by
  1.    Ra - Si method
  2.    Potassium - argon method
  3.    C14 method
  4.    Uranium - lead method
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Uranium - lead method
The Uranium Lead Method, also known as the U-Pb method, is one of the most ancient and reliable radiometric dating methods. It is used to date rocks and crystals that were formed more than a billion years ago. It has a range of dating samples that are about 1billion to 4.5billion years old. It has a precision rate of 0.1−1 percent.
Question 23. Who suggested that most of the mass of the atom is located in the nucleus?
  1.    Thompson
  2.    Bohr
  3.    Rutherford
  4.    Einstein
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rutherford
The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.
Question 24. 'No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers' is stated in
  1.    Newton's law
  2.    Bohr's law
  3.    Aufbau principle
  4.    Pauli's exclusion principle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Pauli's exclusion principle
'No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers' is stated in Pauli's exclusion principle.
Question 25. The dark lines in the solar spectrum are due to
  1.    Absorption of corresponding wavelengths by the outer layers of the sun.
  2.    Destructive interference between waves of certain definite wavelengths.
  3.    Absorption of corresponding wavelengths by the prism used in the photograph.
  4.    Absence of corresponding wavelengths from the light emitted by the core of the sun.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Absorption of corresponding wavelengths by the outer layers of the sun.
Absorption of corresponding wavelengths by the outer layers of the sun.
Question 26. According to Avogadro's Hypothesis, the smallest particle of an element or a compound, that can exist independently, is called:
  1.    A molecule
  2.    A cation
  3.    An anion
  4.    An atom
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> A molecule
Smallest particle of an element or a compound which is capable of independent existence is called molecule. A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically.
Question 27. In an atomic nucleus, neutrons and protons are held together by:
  1.    Gravitational forces
  2.    Exchange forces
  3.    Coulombic forces
  4.    Magnetic forces
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Exchange forces
In an atomic nucleus, neutrons and protons are held together by exchange forces.
Question 28. Which of the following is a protein?
  1.    Natural rubber
  2.    Starch
  3.    Cellulose
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Natural rubber
Natural rubber is a protein.
Question 29. Wood is the main raw material for the manufacture of
  1.    Paint
  2.    Paper
  3.    Ink
  4.    Gun powder
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Paper
Wood is the main raw material for the manufacture of paper.
Question 30. Optical fibers are mainly used for which of the following?
  1.    Musical instruments
  2.    Food industry
  3.    Weaving
  4.    Communication
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Communication
Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.
