    What is the comboning power of oxygen? - ProProfs

    What is the comboning power of oxygen?

    • -1

    • -2

    • +1

    • +2

    Correct Answer
    A. -2
    Explanation
    The combining power of an element refers to its ability to combine with other elements to form compounds. Oxygen has a combining power of -2 because it can gain two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This allows oxygen to form compounds by accepting electrons from other elements, resulting in a negative charge of -2.

    What kind of reaction results in loss of electron? - ProProfs

    What kind of reaction results in loss of electron?

    • Reduction

    • Oxidation

    • Neutralisation

    • Redox reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Oxidation
    Explanation
    Oxidation is the correct answer because it is a chemical reaction in which a substance loses electrons. This process leads to an increase in the oxidation state of the substance, resulting in the loss of electrons.

    Who was the author of the periodic law of elements? - ProProfs

    Who was the author of the periodic law of elements?

    • Dmitri Medelev

    • John Dalton

    • Michael Faraday

    • John Priestly

    Correct Answer
    A. Dmitri Medelev
    Explanation
    Dmitri Mendeleev is the correct answer for the author of the periodic law of elements. Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who is credited with developing the periodic table of elements. He organized the elements based on their atomic mass and noticed that there was a periodic pattern in their properties. This led to the formulation of the periodic law, which states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. Mendeleev's work laid the foundation for our modern understanding of the organization and classification of elements.

    What kind of reaction results in the release of salt and water only? - ProProfs

    What kind of reaction results in the release of salt and water only?

    • Redox reaction

    • Combination

    • Neutralization

    • Reduction

    Correct Answer
    A. Neutralization
    Explanation
    Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base react to form a salt and water. The acid donates a proton (H+) to the base, forming water, while the remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form a salt. This reaction results in the release of salt and water only, making neutralization the correct answer.

    Which of these bonding is the weakest?  - ProProfs

    Which of these bonding is the weakest? 

    • Ionic

    • Covalent

    • Van Der Waals force

    • Hydrogen

    Correct Answer
    A. Van Der Waals force
    Explanation
    Van der Waals forces are the weakest type of bonding among the options given. These forces occur between atoms or molecules due to temporary fluctuations in electron distribution, causing temporary dipoles. These temporary dipoles induce dipoles in neighboring atoms or molecules, leading to weak attractive forces. In comparison, ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons, and hydrogen bonding is a strong type of dipole-dipole interaction.

    Which of these elements does not exhibit allotropy? - ProProfs

    Which of these elements does not exhibit allotropy?

    • Tin

    • Sulphur

    • Phosphorus

    • Hydrogen

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen
    Explanation
    Allotropy refers to the property of certain elements to exist in multiple forms or allotropes. Tin, sulphur, and phosphorus all exhibit allotropy, meaning they can exist in different forms with different physical and chemical properties. However, hydrogen does not exhibit allotropy as it exists as a diatomic molecule (H2) in its most stable form.

    Which of the following matches 'tin'? - ProProfs

    Which of the following matches 'tin'?

    • Protium

    • Deuterium

    • Casseterite

    • Salt bridge

    Correct Answer
    A. Casseterite
    Explanation
    Casseterite is the correct answer because it is a mineral form of tin dioxide. It is the main ore of tin and is commonly used as a source of tin in various industries. Protium and deuterium are isotopes of hydrogen, and a salt bridge is a laboratory apparatus used in electrochemistry. Therefore, none of these options match 'tin' except for casseterite.

    Which of these scientists developed the theory of electrolysis?  - ProProfs

    Which of these scientists developed the theory of electrolysis? 

    • John Dalton

    • Michael Faraday

    • John Wick

    • Marie Curie

    Correct Answer
    A. Michael Faraday
    Explanation
    Michael Faraday developed the theory of electrolysis. He made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism and is known for his experiments on the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions. Faraday's work on electrolysis laid the foundation for our understanding of the process, including the concept of ions and their movement in an electric field. His discoveries revolutionized the field of chemistry and had a profound impact on various industries, such as electroplating and the production of metals.

    Which of these elements is electronegative? - ProProfs

    Which of these elements is electronegative?

    • Sodium

    • Potassium

    • Calcium

    • Iodine

    Correct Answer
    A. Sodium
    Explanation
    Sodium is not electronegative. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Sodium has a relatively low electronegativity value compared to other elements. In contrast, iodine is highly electronegative, meaning it has a strong ability to attract electrons.
