Q2.The thermal stability of hydrides of group 16 elements decreases in the order
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
As we move down the group bond length increases and bond enthalpy for the dissociation of H-E bond decreases. Due to decrease in enthalpy the thermal stability of hydrides decreases down the group.
Q4.Which of the following metals have only one oxidation state?
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Al is not a d block element hence it shows only one oxidation state. While rest all others are d block elements which shows variable oxidation state.
Q9.
In the reaction Pent – 2 – ene. 2 – Bromopentane. Pent – 1 – ene 2 –
Bromopentane on heating with alcoholic KOH, forms two compounds: Pent – 1
– ene and Pent – 2 – ene. Which one of the following statements is true
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Pent-2-ene is major product as ore substituted alkene is formed in major quantity according to zaitsev rule.
Q10.The radioactive isotope used in determining the age of organic substances is
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
The ratio of Carbon -12 to Carbon-14 at the moment of death is the same as every other living thing., but Carbon-14 decays and is not replaced. The carbon-14 decays with its half-life of 5770 years., while the amount of Carbon-12 remains constant in the sample. By looking at the ratio of Carbon-12 to Carbon-14 in the sample and comparing it to the ratio in a living organism, it is possible to determine the age of a formerly living thing fairly precisely.
