Chemistry
A. Covalent bonding
B. Ionic bonding
C. Metallic bonding
D. Hydrogen bonding
Answer: NaCl is formed by the transfer of an electron from Na to Cl, creating Na+ and Cl- ions held together by electrostatic (ionic) forces.
Chemistry
A. Boyle\'s law
B. Charles\'s law
C. Avogadro\'s law
D. Dalton\'s law
Answer: Charles\'s law states V ∝ T (at constant P and n), meaning volume increases linearly with absolute temperature.
Chemistry
A. Sodium (Na)
B. Magnesium (Mg)
C. Oxygen (O)
D. Chlorine (Cl)
Answer: Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.44 on the Pauling scale, which is higher than Na (0.93), Mg (1.31), and Cl (3.16).
Chemistry
A. NH3
B. OH-
C. BF3
D. CH3O-
Answer: BF3 is electron-deficient (boron has only 6 electrons) and can accept an electron pair, making it an electrophile.
Physics
A. Is fixed
B. Is continuous up to a maximum value
C. Depends on temperature
D. Is always zero
Answer: Beta particles have a continuous energy spectrum from 0 to a maximum value, because energy is shared with the antineutrino.
Chemistry
A. 6
B. 8
C. 14
D. 10
Answer: Carbon-14 has atomic number 6 (protons = 6) and mass number 14. Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8.
Physics
A. -3.4 eV
B. -6.8 eV
C. -1.51 eV
D. -27.2 eV
Answer: E₂ = E₁/2² = -13.6/4 = -3.4 eV. First excited state is n=2.
Chemistry
A. +1.00 V
B. 0.00 V
C. -1.00 V
D. +0.76 V
Answer: The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is assigned a potential of exactly 0.00 V by convention and serves as the reference for all other electrodes.
Chemistry
A. Bromine (Br)
B. Chlorine (Cl)
C. Iodine (I)
D. Fluorine (F)
Answer: The configuration [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 has 35 electrons, which corresponds to Bromine (Z = 35).
Physics
A. Less than primary
B. More than primary
C. Same as primary
D. Zero
Answer: In a step-down transformer, voltage decreases but current increases (conservation of power: VpIp = VsIs).
Physics
A. h/mc
B. 2h/mc
C. h/(2mc)
D. Zero
Answer: Δλ = (h/mc)(1-cos90°) = (h/mc)(1-0) = h/mc = 2.43 × 10⁻¹² m (Compton wavelength).
Chemistry
A. +3
B. +4
C. +6
D. +7
Answer: In K2Cr2O7: 2(+1) + 2(Cr) + 7(-2) = 0, so 2Cr = 12, Cr = +6.
Chemistry
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Answer: HCl is a strong acid that fully dissociates. [H+] = 0.001 M = 10^-3, so pH = -log(10^-3) = 3.
Chemistry
A. sp
B. sp2
C. sp3
D. sp3d
Answer: Carbon in CH4 forms four sigma bonds with no lone pairs, giving sp3 hybridization and tetrahedral geometry.
Chemistry
A. 4 sigma, 1 pi
B. 5 sigma, 1 pi
C. 4 sigma, 2 pi
D. 5 sigma, 0 pi
Answer: Ethene has 4 C-H sigma bonds + 1 C-C sigma bond = 5 sigma bonds, and 1 C=C pi bond.
Physics
A. c/137
B. c
C. c/2
D. c/10
Answer: v = cα where α = e²/(4πε₀ℏc) ≈ 1/137 is the fine structure constant. So v ≈ c/137.
Chemistry
A. C6H12O6
B. C6H10O5
C. C12H22O11
D. CH2O
Answer: Glucose is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6, containing six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
Chemistry
A. Principal quantum number (n)
B. Azimuthal quantum number (l)
C. Magnetic quantum number (ml)
D. Spin quantum number (ms)
Answer: The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines the shape of an orbital: l=0 is s (spherical), l=1 is p (dumbbell), etc.
Chemistry
A. 0.1 M NaCl
B. 0.1 M glucose
C. 0.1 M CaCl2
D. 0.1 M urea
Answer: Boiling point elevation depends on the number of solute particles. CaCl2 dissociates into 3 ions (i=3), producing the greatest elevation.
Chemistry
A. Methanol
B. Ethanol
C. Propanol
D. Ethanal
Answer: CH3-CH2-OH has a two-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group, so its IUPAC name is ethanol (ethan-1-ol).
