    ................ replaces Bromine from it's a compound.

    Explanation
    Chlorine and fluorine are both highly reactive elements that can displace bromine from its compounds through a chemical reaction known as displacement or substitution. This occurs because chlorine and fluorine have a higher reactivity than bromine, meaning they are more likely to form bonds with other elements. When chlorine or fluorine react with a compound containing bromine, they can replace the bromine atom, forming a new compound. Therefore, both chlorine and fluorine can replace bromine from its compounds.

    Rusting Can be prevented by .............................

    Explanation
    Rusting can be prevented by various methods such as galvanizing with zinc, greasing, oiling, painting, and using plastic coatings. Galvanizing with zinc involves coating the metal surface with a layer of zinc, which acts as a protective barrier against rust formation. Greasing and oiling create a barrier between the metal and moisture, preventing rust from occurring. Painting provides a protective layer that seals the metal surface and prevents contact with air and moisture. Using plastic coatings also acts as a barrier, preventing the metal from coming into direct contact with water and oxygen, thus inhibiting rust formation.

    What is a row in a Periodic Table called?

    • Group

    • Period

    Correct Answer
    A. Period
    Explanation
    A row in a Periodic Table is called a period. Periods are horizontal rows that represent the number of electron shells in an element's atomic structure. Each period corresponds to a different energy level or shell, with the first period containing only two elements and subsequent periods adding more elements as the number of electron shells increases. Therefore, the correct answer is "Period."

  • 5. 

    How many electron shells are in Helium?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 1

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    Helium has only one electron shell. This is because helium has an atomic number of 2, which means it has two electrons. The first electron shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so all of helium's electrons are in the first shell. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    Which ions do all Alkali's have?

    • OH-

    • H+

    • O2-

    • H-

    Correct Answer
    A. OH-
    Explanation
    All alkalis have OH- ions because alkalis are a type of base that can dissolve in water to release hydroxide ions (OH-) into the solution. These hydroxide ions are responsible for the alkaline properties of alkalis, such as their ability to neutralize acids and react with certain metals. Therefore, OH- ions are a characteristic feature of alkalis.

    A positive Chloride test gives a yellow precipitate

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A positive Chloride test does not give a yellow precipitate. This statement is incorrect because a positive Chloride test actually gives a white precipitate, not a yellow one.

  • 8. 

    Carbon Dioxide is not denser than air?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Carbon dioxide is denser than air. This is because carbon dioxide molecules are heavier than the molecules that make up air, which primarily consist of nitrogen and oxygen. When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it tends to sink and accumulate near the ground. This is why carbon dioxide is often used as a fire suppressant, as it can displace oxygen and smother the fire.

    How do you test for a Calcium Cation?

    • Add dilute HCl and Barium Chloride

    • Add NaOH solution

    • Flame Test

    Correct Answer
    A. Flame Test
    Explanation
    The flame test is used to identify the presence of certain metal ions, including calcium cations. When a calcium compound is heated in a flame, it emits a characteristic orange-red color. This color is unique to calcium and can be distinguished from other metal ions. Therefore, the flame test is a reliable method for testing the presence of calcium cations in a solution.

    How do you test for pure water?

    • Using copper sulphate

    • Checking the melting and boiling points

    • Using a pH indicator which gives a purple result

    Correct Answer
    A. Checking the melting and boiling points
    Explanation
    To test for pure water, one can check the melting and boiling points. Pure water has a melting point of 0 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. By heating the water and observing at what temperature it starts to boil and at what temperature it turns into ice, one can determine if it is pure or not. Impurities in water can alter its melting and boiling points, so if the observed temperatures deviate from the expected values, it indicates the presence of impurities.

    What is H202?

    • Dihydrogen Dioxide

    • Hydrogen monooxide

    • Hydrogen Peroxide

    • Dihelium Dioxide

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen Peroxide
    Explanation
    Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) is the correct answer. It is a chemical compound consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a pale blue liquid that is commonly used as a disinfectant, bleach, and oxidizer. It has various industrial and medical applications, including as a hair bleach and wound disinfectant. Hydrogen Peroxide is not to be confused with Dihydrogen Dioxide, Hydrogen monooxide, or Dihelium Dioxide as they are not valid chemical compounds.

    Which gas has a % of 0.04 in normal air?

    • Helium

    • Carbon Dioxide

    • Nitrogen

    • Oxygen

    • Ammonia

    • Iron

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon Dioxide
    Explanation
    Carbon dioxide is the correct answer because it is the gas that has a percentage of 0.04 in normal air. Normal air consists mainly of nitrogen (approximately 78%) and oxygen (approximately 21%), with trace amounts of other gases including carbon dioxide (approximately 0.04%). Helium, ammonia, and iron are not typically present in significant amounts in normal air.

    Positive test for Chlorine gas is ............................

    Correct Answer
    Blue Litmus goes red and then bleached
    Explanation
    When Chlorine gas is present, it reacts with Blue Litmus paper. Initially, the Blue Litmus paper turns red due to the acidic nature of Chlorine gas. However, as the reaction progresses, the Chlorine gas bleaches the Blue Litmus paper, causing it to lose its color. This change in color from blue to red and then to bleached confirms the presence of Chlorine gas, making it a positive test.

    • Neon

    • Potassium

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Hydrogen
    A. Helium
    Explanation
    The metals in period 1 are Hydrogen and Helium. Hydrogen is a nonmetal but is often included in the alkali metal group. Helium is a noble gas and is not considered a metal.

    What is the reaction of HCl and CaCO3 used to prepare?

    • CO2

    • H2O

    • CaCl

    • CaH

    Correct Answer
    A. CO2
    Explanation
    When HCl (hydrochloric acid) reacts with CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), it forms CO2 (carbon dioxide) as one of the products. This reaction is a common example of an acid-base reaction, where the HCl acts as an acid and the CaCO3 acts as a base. The reaction can be represented by the equation: HCl + CaCO3 → CO2 + H2O + CaCl.

    What is Oxidation?

    • Loss of Oxygen

    • Gain of Oxygen

    • Loss of Electrons

    • Gain of Electrons

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Gain of Oxygen
    A. Loss of Electrons
    Explanation
    Oxidation refers to the process in which a substance loses electrons or gains oxygen. In this case, the correct answer is "Gain of Oxygen, Loss of Electrons." This means that during oxidation, a substance gains oxygen atoms and loses electrons.
