Q:

What state of matter is Jello?

A) Liquid B) Solid
C) Colloid D) Gas
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Colloid

Explanation:

Jello is a colloid, a semi-rigid structure i.e, semi-solid suspended in a liquid. When you Heat it up a bit and you'll break the protein bonds of the gelatin and it will liquefy completely and if you freeze, it becomes solid.

Q:

Which of the following elements is a metal?

A) Se B) I
C) Zn D) S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Zn

Explanation:

In chemistry, a metal is an element that readily forms positive ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Metals are opaque, lustrous elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Most metals are malleable and ductile and are, in general, denser than the other elemental substances.

 

Examples of metals are aluminium, copper, iron, tin, gold, lead, silver, titanium, uranium, and zinc.

 

Here Se - Selenium is an element but is not a metal, S - Sulphur is not a metal and I - Iodine is also not a metal.

 

Hence, Zn - Zinc is the only metal in the given options.

Q:

Which of the following is used to preserve specimens in the biology laboratory?

A) Phenol B) Benzaldehyde
C) Formaldehyde D) Acetic acid
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Formaldehyde

Explanation:

A 40% solution of Formaldehyde known as Formalin is used in the preservation of biological specimens because of its hardening action on proteins.

Q:

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to

A) share electrons B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons D) None of above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) lose electrons

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

 

Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions

Q:

Dust particles in the air of large industrial cities are removed by 

A) Sedimentation B) Electrophoresis
C) Tyndall effect D) Brownian movement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Electrophoresis

Explanation:

Dust particles such as coal dust(smoke) are fine particle of a solid (carbon in the case of smoke) dispersed in air. They are colloidal systems and the particles are charged either positive or negative. In an applied electrical field, they are attracted towards the opposite electrodes. Movement of the particles towards the electrodes is known as 'electrophoresis'. Hence electrophoresis is applied to remove smoke within the chimeny itself without allowing it to escape into the air and cause nuisance.

Q:

Which of the following is an Organic Molecule?

A) Nitrogen gas B) Ammonia
C) Fructose D) Water
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Fructose

Explanation:

Fructose is an Organic molecule among the given options.

  

Organic Molecules :

An organic molecule is one which contains carbon, although not all compounds that contain carbon are organic molecules. Noticeable exceptions are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonates (e.g. calcium carbonate), carbides (e.g. calcium carbide) and cyanides (e.g. sodium cyanide). Pure carbon compounds such as diamond and graphite are also not organic compounds. Organic molecules can range in size from simple molecules to complex structures containing thousands of atoms.

 

Although carbon is present in all organic compounds, other elements such as hydrogen (H), oxygen(O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) are also common in these molecules.

 

In simple, Molecules needed for life that have carbon are called Organic Molecules.
