The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour A strong base forms a weak conjugate acid during reaction pressure of a liquid becomes equal to atmospheric and ion exchange and similarly, a strong acid forms a weak pressure and it converts from liquid to a gaseous state. conjugate base. It is different at different altitudes. 2. Explanation꞉ The boiling point of water under normal conditions is 100° C. Magnesium ribbon gives magnesium oxide when burnt in air. The boiling point usually decreases at high altitudes. The ribbon burns with bright white light or white flame. So at high altitudes, the boiling point of water is less than When magnesium metal burns it reacts with 100° C. oxygen present in the air to form a compound called magnesium oxide. 6. The correct answer is 2n2. This is an exothermic reaction and intense heat is Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an produced. atom can have identical values for all four quantum The reaction produces white powder or white ash as numbers(n,l, ml and ms). magnesium oxide. For example, subshell 1s can accommodate only 2 The balanced chemical equation is, electrons. 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) + Energy For 1s orbital- n=1, l=0, ml= 0 and ms = + 1 2 or – 1 2 This white ash is Magnesium oxide and it can be given as Mg + O2 → 2MgO According to this principle, the number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is given by 2n2. When this White ash (Magnesium oxide) is dissolved in For example, K shell contains only one subshell 1s, so water (H2O) it gives Magnesium Hydroxide. the maximum number of electrons occupied in K shell is 2. MgO + H2O → Mg(OH) 2 The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is indicated by the formula 2n2. 3. Number of electrons in one shell =2n2 Nichrome has low resistivity.

Explanation꞉ 5. The Correct Answer is 180. Kinetic theory of gases- The boiling and freezing points of water are exactly 180 degrees apart on the Fahrenheit scale.  The kinetic theory of gases is a theoretical model that Sodium and chlorine belong to the 3rd period and while describes- sodium is in group 1, chlorine is in group 9, therefore when the molecular composition of the gas in terms of a large we move from sodium (left) to chlorine (right), the non- number of identical tiny particles called molecules. metallic character increases. Further, this theory explains that gas pressure arises due to As we go down a group, the atomic radius increases particles colliding with each other and the walls of the because of this, the attraction between the nucleus and the container. electrons decreases. The kinetic theory of gases also defines thermodynamic Due to this reason, it becomes difficult to gain electrons variables such as temperature, and therefore, non-metallic character decreases down the viscosity, and thermal conductivity, and all these properties group. are related to the microscopic phenomenon.

The correct answer is CO2 gas comes out with brisk n ⇒ P = RT V effervescence.. ρ A chemical reaction occurs when we add hydrochloric acid ⇒ P = RT M to washing soda (sodium carbonate). The chemical equation for the reaction is꞉ → ρ (where, M = mNa and R/Na = K = R ⇒ P = × × T Na2CO3 + 2HCl 2NaCl + H2O + CO2 m Na Boltzman constant) The acid (HCl) reacts with the base (Na2CO3) to form a salt ρKT ⇒ P = m (NaCl), water (H2O) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2). ∴ ρ = mP The reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, which appears as KT bubbles and causes brisk effervescence. From the above, the density is inversly proportional to the This is because carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature. temperature and pressure and is not soluble in water, so it Therefore, The density of an ideal gas can be doubled by escapes as bubbles from the solution. halving the Absolute temperature The effervescence indicates that a gas is being produced Hence, option-3 is correct due to the reaction. The amount of carbon dioxide released will depend on the 8. The correct answer is Carbon Dioxide. amount of washing soda and hydrochloric acid used. One carbon atom is covalently doubly linked to two oxygen The more washing soda and hydrochloric acid used, the atoms in each of the molecules that make up carbon more carbon dioxide gas will be produced. dioxide. At room temperature, it exists as a gas. 11. The correct answer is 17. In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide serves as a greenhouse Given꞉ gas because it absorbs infrared radiation despite being The atomic mass of Nitrogen is 14 and that of Hydrogen transparent to visible light. is 1 Buckminsterfullerene꞉ Hence, The molecular mass of NH3 = ( 1 × 14 ) + ( 3 × 1 ) A spherical carbon allotrope called buckminsterfullerene Molecular mass of NH3 = 17 gm/mole (C60) has 60 atoms arranged in pentagons and 12. The correct answer is Newlands' law of octaves. hexagons, giving it a shape resembling a soccer ball. The 62 elements that were then known were examined in Diamond꞉ 1864 by British scientist John Newlands. With its atoms grouped in what is known as a diamond According to the law of octaves, every eighth element cubic crystal structure, a diamond is a solid form of the possesses characteristics that are identical when the element carbon. elements are ordered in ascending order of atomic mass. Graphite꞉ Cobalt and nickel are isolated from iron, which shares many Carbon exists in its crystalline form as graphite. of its physical characteristics. Graphene is layered in layers to make it. The Law of Octaves was no longer relevant with the 9. The correct answer is Sodium to Chlorine. discovery of noble gases. Metallic character refers to how readily an atom loses an Newland's Law of Octaves' limitations꞉ electron. In Newland's periodic table, several elements fit into the Conversely, the non-metallic character is concerned with same positions. how readily an atom gains electrons. Nickel and cobalt, for instance, were put in the same slot. As we move from left to right in a period, the atomic radius Elements with dissimilar properties were grouped decreases due to which attraction between the nucleus and together. electrons increases. For instance, several metals, such as cobalt, nickel, and Due to this attraction, it is easier to gain electrons rather platinum, were classed with halogens. than lose them. The octaves of Newland's law was only accurate for Therefore, the non-metallic character increases as we move elements up to calcium. from left to right in a period.  It was impossible to fit elements with larger atomic Acids that dissociate completely when dissolved in water masses within octaves. are called strong acids. The octave pattern could not accommodate the later Examples of strong acids are Sulphuric acid (H2SO4), found components. Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Nitric acid (HNO3) etc. As a result, there was no room for the discovery of new Acids that dissociate partially when dissolved in water are elements using this system of classifying elements. called weak acids.

Ductility is the property of a metal that can be drawn into a According to Dalton's theory, matter consists of indivisible form of a thin wire. atoms and all the atoms of an element have identical Gold (Au) is the most ductile element and also a properties including identical mass. malleable metal. Hence 4 is correct. It explained the law of chemical combination. To make the gold hard, Copper (Cu) is added to it. This theory also stated that compounds are formed when Metals have a shining surface in their pure state because of atoms of different elements combine in a fixed ratio. the presence of free electrons and this property is called According to the law of constant proportions, a given Metallic Lustre. compound always contains exactly the same proportion of Zinc (Zn) and Mercury (Hg) are considered the least ductile elements by weight, for example, carbon dioxide (CO2) metals because Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. contains both carbon and oxygen compounds combined in Carbon (C) is not a ductile metal. the fixed ratio of 3꞉8 by weight. All metals exist as solids at room temperature except This is also called as law of definite proportions. mercury (Hg). Cations are positively charged ions i.e, more protons than Malleability refers that a thin sheet that can be formed by electrons and are formed when a metal loses its electrons. hammering a metal. For example, Ca2+, K+, Ag+, Zn2+, Na+ etc. Malleability is directly proportional to temperature. If the Anions are negatively charged ions i.e., more electrons than temperature increases, malleability increases. protons, formed when a non-metal gains electrons. Gold is the most malleable and Aluminium, Zinc, Lead, Iron, For example, OH-, Cl- etc. and Copper are also malleable metals and Nickel is the Sulphate is a compound made of sulfur and oxygen, and it least malleable metal. is an anion with the formula SO42- whereas oxalate is an 19. The correct answer is Acids are those chemical substances anion with the formula C2O42-. and Ammonium ion (NH4+) that have a salty taste. Acids are substances that are sour in taste and have at is a cation. least one replaceable hydrogen atom or an element that Atomic mass is the mass exactly the same as the one- can donate a hydrogen ion to another element. twelfth mass of one carbon-12 atom and molecular mass is They are corrosive in nature and are good conductors of the sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in a electricity. molecule. Strong acids are acids which dissociate completely in water, So, the gram atomic mass of an element and the gram for example, Sulphuric acid (H2SO4), Hydrochloric acid molecular mass of a compound contains the same number of molecules. Hence option 2 is correct. 22. Th
