Correct Answer:
d) Noble gases
Explanation:
Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated
atom in the gaseous state. In a period, the value of ionisation potential increases from left to right.
Thus, noble gases have more ionisation energy than others.
Question 9
When a covalent bond breaks in such a way that the shared pair of electrons stay on any one of
the bonded atoms, such a reaction is called
a)
Decomposition reaction
b)
Homolytic fission reaction
c)
Heterolytic fission reaction
d)
Heterolytic fission reaction
e)
Thermal fission
Correct Answer:
c) Heterolytic fission reaction
Explanation:
The heterolytic reaction is also called as heterolysis. A covalent bond breaks in such a way that the
shared pair of electrons stays on any one of the bonded atoms is called the heterolysis. The atom,
which carries the unshared pair of electrons, is represented as A-: Ex:
In Homolytic fission reaction, the covalent bond
undergoes fission reaction where the shared pair of electrons is shared between each bonded atom.
Ex:
Question 10
Pick out the correct statement.
a)
Red litmus paper is used to identify acids
b)
Dry litmus paper is used to test water-soluble gas
c)
Blue litmus paper is used to identify acids
d)
Blue litmus paper is used to identify bases
e)
None of these
Correct Answer:
c) Blue litmus paper is used to identify acids
Explanation:
Blue litmus paper turns into red color when it dips in acidic solution. Red litmus paper turns into blue
color when it dips in basic solution. Wet litmus paper is used to test water-soluble gas.
