Which of the following is NOT a type of plasma-chemical reaction?

  1. Dissociation

  2. Ionization

  3. Recombination

  4. Polymerization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Polymerization is not a plasma-chemical reaction, but rather a chemical reaction that occurs in the presence of a plasma.

What is the primary source of energy in a plasma-chemical reaction?

  1. Heat

  2. Electricity

  3. Light

  4. Magnetic fields


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electricity is the primary source of energy in a plasma-chemical reaction, as it is used to generate the plasma.

  3. Gas chromatography

  4. X-ray diffraction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

X-ray diffraction is not a common diagnostic technique used in plasma chemistry, although it can be used to characterize the structure of plasma-deposited thin films.

What is the main advantage of using plasma chemistry for thin film deposition?

  1. It allows for the deposition of a wide variety of materials

  2. It can be used to deposit thin films with high purity

  3. It is a low-temperature process

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plasma chemistry offers several advantages for thin film deposition, including the ability to deposit a wide variety of materials, the ability to deposit thin films with high purity, and its low-temperature operation.

Which of the following is NOT a common application of plasma chemistry in pollution control?

  1. Removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

  2. Removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx)

  3. Removal of sulfur oxides (SOx)

  4. Removal of particulate matter (PM)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plasma chemistry is not commonly used for the removal of particulate matter (PM), although it is used for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx).

What is the main challenge in the development of plasma-chemical processes for pollution control?

  1. The high cost of plasma generation
