Question : 1

Which of the following properties generally decrease along a period?

a) Non-metallic character

b) Metallic character

c) Atomic size

d) Both (a) and (c)

Answer: (d)

As atomic size decreases along a period valence electrons become more firmly held with the nucleus.

Thus more amount of energy is required to remove valence electrons which reduces the metallic character

Question : 2

C. 4 3. Oxidation number of Ca in CaO
D. 6 4. Oxidation number of Al in NaAlH4
Code: A B C D

a) 4 3 1 2

b) 3 4 2 1

c) 3 4 1 2

d) 4 3 2 1

Answer: (c)

a) B, C, D

b) A, D, E

c) A, B, C

d) A, B, E

Answer: (d)

A(Z = 3);

B(Z = 11) and

E(Z = 19) are all alkali metals.

Question : 5

Which element is more electronegative among halogens?

a) Cl

b) F

c) Br

d) I

Answer: (b)

Question : 6

A binary liquid solution is prepared by mixing n-heptane and ethanol. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the behaviour of the solution?

  1. The solution is non-ideal, showing -ve deviation from Raoult’s Law.
  2. The solution is non-ideal, showing +ve deviation from Raoult’s Law.
  3. n-heptane shows +ve deviation while ethanol shows –ve deviation from Raoult’s Law.
  4. The solution formed is an ideal solution.

a) 1, 2 and 4

b) 1, 2 and 3

c) 1, 3 and 4

d) 2, 3 and 4

Answer: (c)

For this solution intermolecular interactions between n-heptane and ethanol are weaker than n-heptane -n-heptane & ethanol-ethanol interactions hence the solution of n-heptane and ethanol is non-ideal and shows positive deviation from Raoult’s law.
