    What is formed when two are more chemical elements are chemically bond together? - ProProfs

    What is formed when two are more chemical elements are chemically bond together?

    • Space

    • Environment

    • Vacuum

    • Compound

    Correct Answer
    A. Compound
    Explanation
    When two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together, a compound is formed. A compound is a substance that consists of two or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. The elements in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which can be either ionic or covalent. Compounds have unique properties that are different from the properties of their individual elements.

    How many elements are in the periodic table? - ProProfs

    How many elements are in the periodic table?

    • 180

    • 134

    • 118

    • 140

    Correct Answer
    A. 118
    Explanation
    The periodic table consists of all the known chemical elements, arranged in order of their atomic numbers. As of now, there are 118 confirmed elements in the periodic table. Each element is represented by a unique symbol and has its own distinct properties.

    One of these is not a branch of chemistry? - ProProfs

    One of these is not a branch of chemistry?

    • Organic chemistry

    • Inorganic chemistry

    • Analytic chemistry

    • Quantitative chemistry

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantitative chemistry
    Explanation
    Quantitative chemistry is not a branch of chemistry. It is a sub-discipline within analytical chemistry that focuses on the measurement and quantification of chemical substances and their properties. It involves the use of mathematical and statistical methods to analyze and interpret experimental data. In contrast, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and analytical chemistry are all recognized branches of chemistry that study different aspects of chemical compounds and reactions.

    In chemistry, what can never be broken down into simpler forms either by physical or chemical means? - ProProfs

    In chemistry, what can never be broken down into simpler forms either by physical or chemical means?

    • Atom

    • Protons

    • Gases

    • Elements

    Correct Answer
    A. Elements
    Explanation
    Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler forms by physical or chemical means. They are the fundamental building blocks of matter and are composed of only one type of atom. Each element has its own unique set of properties and characteristics, which distinguish it from other elements. Elements are the basic components of all matter and are represented by symbols in the periodic table.

    What is the simplest and smallest form of a matter ? - ProProfs

    What is the simplest and smallest form of a matter ?

    • Atom

    • Molecules

    • Element

    • Compound

    Correct Answer
    A. Atom
    Explanation
    An atom is the simplest and smallest form of matter because it is the basic unit of a chemical element. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They cannot be broken down further without losing their unique properties. Molecules, elements, and compounds are composed of multiple atoms bonded together in different ways, making them more complex and larger in size compared to individual atoms.

    What kind of science is chemistry? - ProProfs

    What kind of science is chemistry?

    • Spiritual

    • Psychological

    • Physical

    • Historical

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical
    Explanation
    Chemistry is a physical science because it deals with the study of matter and its properties, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It involves the understanding of the composition, structure, and behavior of substances at the atomic and molecular level. Chemistry relies on principles and theories from physics to explain the behavior of atoms and molecules, making it a branch of physical science.

    Where does the word “chemistry” comes from? - ProProfs

    Where does the word “chemistry” comes from?

    • Chemplast

    • Alichem

    • Chemcast

    • Alchemy

    Correct Answer
    A. Alchemy
    Explanation
    The word "chemistry" comes from the term "alchemy." Alchemy was a medieval practice that aimed to transform base metals into gold and discover a universal panacea. It also involved the study of various substances and their properties. Over time, alchemy evolved into modern chemistry, which focuses on the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of substances. Hence, the word "chemistry" is derived from its predecessor, alchemy.

    Which of these is not a type of chemical reaction? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a type of chemical reaction?

    • Decomposition Reaction

    • Acid Base reaction

    • Combustion Reaction

    • Degeneration Reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Degeneration Reaction
    Explanation
    Degeneration reaction is not a type of chemical reaction. Decomposition reaction involves the breakdown of a compound into simpler substances, acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons between acids and bases, and combustion reaction involves the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen to produce heat and light. However, degeneration reaction is not a recognized type of chemical reaction.

    In Chemistry, Oxygen is used for the following except: - ProProfs

    In Chemistry, Oxygen is used for the following except:

    • Oxidizing

    • Combustion

    • Reduction

    • Metal Cutting

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduction
    Explanation
    Oxygen is commonly used for oxidizing, combustion, and metal cutting processes. However, it is not used for reduction reactions. Reduction involves the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state of a substance, while oxygen is typically involved in oxidation reactions where it loses electrons or increases its oxidation state. Therefore, oxygen is not used for reduction.
