1. Thermoplastic materials are those materials which__________________
Correct Answer
A. A are formed into shape under pressure and result in permanently hard product
Explanation
Thermoplastic materials are able to be formed into a specific shape when pressure is applied, and once they cool down, they retain that shape permanently. This is in contrast to thermosetting materials, which undergo a chemical change when heated and cannot be reshaped once they have solidified. Therefore, option A accurately describes the characteristics of thermoplastic materials.
3.

7.
7 Which of the following is the chemically inert to organic solvents?
Correct Answer
B. B thermosetting plastic
Explanation
Thermosetting plastics are chemically inert to organic solvents. This means that they do not react or dissolve when exposed to organic solvents. Unlike thermoplastic plastics, which can melt and be reshaped when heated, thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical reaction when heated and become permanently set. This chemical reaction creates a cross-linked network structure that makes them resistant to solvents. Therefore, thermosetting plastics are the correct answer as they do not react with or dissolve in organic solvents.

10. ________ is formed by mixing hydrochloric acid, limestone and natural gas.
Correct Answer
C. C PVCÂ Â
Explanation
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is formed by mixing hydrochloric acid, limestone, and natural gas.
11.
11. ________ can be reshaped after heating.
Correct Answer
A. A thermosetting plastic Â
Explanation
Thermosetting plastic can be reshaped after heating because it undergoes a chemical change when heated, which causes it to harden and become permanently rigid. This process is irreversible, so once a thermosetting plastic has been heated and shaped, it cannot be melted or reshaped again. In contrast, thermoplastic plastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times because they only undergo a physical change when heated, allowing them to be molded and remolded as needed.
12.
1. Which of the following is used in fluorescent light reflectors?
Correct Answer
A. A PVCÂ
Explanation
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is used in fluorescent light reflectors because it has good reflective properties and is resistant to heat and chemicals. It is also lightweight and easy to shape, making it suitable for use in reflectors. Polystyrene, elastomers, and nylons do not have the same reflective properties or resistance to heat and chemicals as PVC, which is why they are not used in fluorescent light reflectors.
13.
13. Thermosetting plastic are those materials which__________________
Correct Answer
A. A are formed into shape under pressure and result in permanently hard product
Explanation
Thermosetting plastics are materials that undergo a chemical change when heated and molded under pressure. This chemical change causes the plastic to cross-link and form a rigid and permanently hard product. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be melted and reshaped multiple times, thermosetting plastics cannot be remolded once they have undergone this chemical change. Therefore, option A correctly describes the characteristic of thermosetting plastics.
14.
14. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a _____ material
Correct Answer
A. A thermoplasticÂ

Alcad is a specific type of laminated composite that is made by bonding layers of aluminum and copper together. This material is commonly used in electrical applications due to its high electrical conductivity and low electrical resistance. Therefore, option A, alcad, is the correct answer as it is a laminated composite material.
20.
20.Melting point of nano material decreases with decrease in size of particle.
Correct Answer
A. A true  Â
Explanation
As the size of a particle decreases, the ratio of surface area to volume increases. This means that there is a larger surface area available for interactions with the surroundings. In the case of nano materials, this increased surface area leads to more atoms or molecules being present at the surface, which results in weaker intermolecular forces. Consequently, the particles require less energy to break these weak intermolecular forces and transition from a solid to a liquid state, resulting in a lower melting point. Therefore, the statement that the melting point of nano materials decreases with a decrease in size of the particle is true.

Thermosetting plastics have a three-dimensional molecular structure. Unlike thermoplastic plastics, which can be melted and reshaped multiple times, thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical reaction during the curing process that permanently sets their shape. This chemical reaction creates strong cross-linking bonds between the polymer chains, resulting in a rigid and infusible material. Therefore, the correct answer is B thermosetting plastic.
29.
29 Which of the following should not be heated above their decomposition temperature?
Correct Answer
A. A thermoplastic plastic
Explanation
Thermoplastic plastics should not be heated above their decomposition temperature because they will break down and lose their structural integrity. Unlike thermosetting plastics, which can withstand high temperatures without decomposing, thermoplastic plastics can melt and become deformed when exposed to excessive heat. Therefore, it is important to carefully control the temperature when working with thermoplastic plastics to avoid damaging or destroying the material.
30.
30 Which of the following is not product of thermosetting plastics?
Correct Answer
D. D PVC
Explanation
PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is not a product of thermosetting plastics. Thermosetting plastics are materials that undergo a chemical reaction when heated and cannot be reshaped or remolded once they have solidified.

47.
47. The melting point increases with decrease in size of nano particles
Correct Answer
B. B incorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is B incorrect. The melting point actually decreases with a decrease in the size of nano particles. This is due to the fact that as the size of particles decreases, the surface area to volume ratio increases. This leads to an increase in surface energy, which lowers the melting point. Additionally, the reduced size of particles also affects the crystal structure and atomic arrangement, further contributing to the decrease in melting point.

48. which are methods for synthesis of nano particles ?
`
Correct Answer
C. c both A & B
Explanation
Both the bottom-up and top-down approaches are methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The bottom-up approach involves building nanoparticles from smaller components or atoms, gradually assembling them into larger structures. On the other hand, the top-down approach involves breaking down larger materials into nanoparticles through techniques such as grinding, milling, or lithography. Therefore, both A (bottom-up approach) and B (top-down approach) are valid methods for synthesizing nanoparticles.
49.
49. ____ absorbs 100% light and hence, does not shine.
Correct Answer
A. A gold nano particles
Explanation
Gold nanoparticles absorb 100% of light and do not shine because of a phenomenon called surface plasmon resonance. When light interacts with gold nanoparticles, the electrons in the metal oscillate collectively, absorbing the light energy and converting it into heat. This absorption of light prevents the gold nanoparticles from reflecting or scattering light, resulting in their lack of shine. Zinc sulphide, titanium carbide, and cadmium sulphide do not have the same properties and therefore do not absorb 100% of light.
