Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

If the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic weights, after a regular interval similiar properties of elements are repeated.

Q2. Macromolecules are one of the following
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Q4. Transport of water and mineral in plants take place through
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Transport of water and mineral in plant take place through xylem tissue present in vascular bundles. Vessels and tracheids are main water conducting elements of xylem.

Q5. Elements having +5 oxidation state is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The maximum oxidation state shown by a p-block element is equal to the total number of valence electrons (i.e., the sum of the s and p-electrons).

P:[Ne]3s23p3. Total valence electrons =5 so it will show +5 oxidation state. The stability of +5 oxidation state decreases down the group due to inert pair effect.


Q6. Thermodynamics is the branch of physical science concerned with
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Thermodynamics deals with heat and its transformation from one form to another. The branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy.

Q7. The basic property of a fluid that makes it different from solids
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

fluids can flow due to unbalanced forces between the atoms of fluids.
