Question : 3
$H_2O$ is liquid and $H_2S$ is a gas because
a) atomic radius of oxygen is less than that of sulphur.
b) oxygen is less electronegative than sulphur.
c) oxygen forms stronger hydrogen bonding than sulphur.
d) atomic radius of oxygen is greater than that of sulphur.
Answer »Answer: (c)
H2O has an intermolecular hydrogen bond between its molecules (H—O—H------H—O—H) while H2S has weak van der Waal’s forces between its molecules.
Hence the molecules of H2O are more strongly packed than H2S, thus water is a liquid state at room temperature.
Question : 4
Consider the following statements with reference to the periodic table of chemical elements.
- Ionization potential gradually decreases along a period.
- In a group of elements, electron affinity decreases as the atomic weight increases.
- In a given period, electronegativity decreases as the atomic number increases.
a) Only 1
b) 1 and 3
c) Only 2
d) 2 and 3

Question : 5
Consider the following statements:
Hard water does not give lather with soap because hard water contains:
- calcium bicarbonate
- magnesium bicarbonate
- chlorides of calcium and magnesium
- sulphates of calcium and magnesium
a) 1, 2 and 3
b) 3 and 4
c) 1 and 2
d) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer »Answer: (b)
Since hard water contains soluble chloride and sulphate salts of calcium and magnesium it forms an insoluble curdy precipitate with soap.
${2C_{17}H_{35}COONa} ↙\text"soluble sodium stearate (soap)" + {CaCl_2} ↙\text"calcium chloride (in hard water)" → {(C_{17}H_{35}COO)_2} ↙\text"insoluble calcium stearate" Ca + 2NaCl$
${2C_{17}H_{35}COONa} ↙\text"soluble sodium stearate" + {MgSO_4} ↙\text"Magnesium chloride (in hard water)" → {(C_{17}H_{35}COO)_2 } ↙\text"insoluble magnesium stearate (soap) " Mg + Na_2SO_4$
Question : 6
