It is correct, he observed when elements with similar chemical properties were grouped together with increasing atomic masses, occured in groups of three.These are called Triads.

Why some gaps are seen in Mendeleev's periodic table?

  1. He predicted the existence of some elements and space was left for them.

  2. It showed gaps between the atomic weight of elements in a continuous manner.

  3. Space was left for isotopes and nobel gases.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is correct because Mendeleev was able to predict the existence and even properties of some elements and so he left space for them in the periodic table.

Which period is incomplete in the periodic table?

  1. First period

  2. Second period

  3. Seventh period

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. It starts with element Francium. This period contains the heaviest element which occurs naturally on earth, uranium. Most of the subsequent elements in this period have been synthesized artificially and on many  elements of this period work is still going on in the lab.  All elements are radioactive in this period.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Distance travelled by a train is greater than its displacement.

  2. Distance is scalar and displacement is a vector quantity.

  3. Distance covered in a straight line with same sign is not equal to its displacement.

  4. All of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is correct as this statement is incorrect. Both the quantities will be equal.

The units of which two are same?

  1. Momentum and Impulse

  2. Momentum and torque

  3. Momentum and angular momentum

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is correct as momentum = mass *velocity therefore unit is kg*m/sec, impulse =force*time. Therefore unit = (kg*m/sec*sec)*sec=kg*m/sec.

A body starts from rest, its initial speed is x, then he acquires a speed v and finally he stops and speed is again x. What are the possible values of x and v?

  1. O m/sec ; 20 m/sec ; 0 m/sec.

  2. 5m/sec ; 20 m/sec ; 0 m/sec.

  3. 5m/sec ; 20 m/sec ; 5 m/sec

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct as it was at rest initially before it started , its speed will be zero at that time , then it acquires a certain speed and finally when it stops its speed will be zero again.

Which is not a vector quantity?

  1. Speed

  2. Acceleration

  3. Force

  4. Displacement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct as it has only magnitude. So it is a scalar quantity.

In which medium is the velocity of sound maximum?

  1. Aluminium

  2. Diamond

  3. Gold

  4. Iron


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the maximum in diamond i.e. 12000m/sec.

Why does ice in coke float and does not sink?

  1. Ice is hollow.

  2. Water on freezing expands and becomes less dense.

  3. Water molecules and ice molecules repel each other.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is correct as by the time water has cooled to 40C., the molecules' energy has dropped enough that they are very near each another. So each H2O molecule forms more stable hydrogen bonds, with up to four fellow molecules. At 00C, the molecules in ice are held rigidly apart. That means more empty space between molecules, so frozen water occupies more room and is less dense.

Which of the following has the unit kg*m*m/sec*sec?

  1. Work done

  2. Kinetic energy

  3. Potential energy

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, all are correct as work done is a product of force exerted on the body and the distance moved by the body in the direction of the force. Its unit is kg*m*m/sec*sec. Kinetic energy is energy associated with motion of a body and is measured in kg*m*m/sec*sec. Potential energy is the energy stored in the body due to its position and is measured in kg*m*m/sec*sec.

  1. Too loud

  2. Very light

  3. He cannot hear it

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct as it is beyond the audibilty range for us ie 20Hz - 20,000 Hz.

Who discovered the first mercury thermometer?

  1. Galileo

  2. Joule

At what point the kinetic energy of the ball of simple pendulum has zero potential energy and maximum kinetic energy?

  1. At the mean position

  2. At the extreme ends

  3. When it is in motion, between left/ right ends and mean position.

  4. It is not possible that P.E=0 and K.E = max.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is correct as when the pendulum reaches the very bottom of the swing, it is at its lowest point and greatest speed. This means that the pendulum has zero potential energy and maximum kinetic energy.

Why does water pipe burst in extreme winter?

  1. Water expands on cooling.

  2. Pipes become brittle.

  3. Flow of water increases.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is correct as water molecules are less dense than ice. Water expands on cooling.

As we move along a period

  1. the size of atom increases

  2. the size of atom decreases

  3. the size remains the same

  4. the size first increases then toward the end it decreases.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct as no new shell is added and electrons are added in same shell which increases ionization energy . An increase in ionization energy means decrease in size.

A child is playing with a ball in a train facing the engine. He throws the ball up.The ball falls behind him. In which direction is the train moving?

  1. The train is moving backward with uniform speed.

  2. The train is moving forward with uniform speed.

  3. The train is moving forward with acceleration

  4. The train is moving with deceleration


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct as the train is moving forward with acceleration and acceleration is the change in velocity of body with time, i.e. direction is also considered. Here the ball goes up and by that time the train moves forward , resulting in ball falling behind the child.
