Element A has 2 electrons in its outermost shell and element B has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. The formula of the compound formed between A and B would be

  1. A2B3

  2. A4B2

  3. A2B

  4. A2B4

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In this compound, valency of A is 2 and valency of B is 4.

Which of the following compounds is polar?

  1. CH4

  2. C2H2

  3. C2H3

  4. CHCl3

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a polar molecule. The bond between carbon and hydrogen is considered non-polar, but the bonds between carbon and chlorine are considered polar covalent.

The formula of a compound is A2B5. The number of electrons in the outermost shells of A and B, respectively, are

  1. 5 and 2

  2. 2 and 5

  3. 5 and 6

  4. 2 and 3

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The valency in a formula can be explained on the cris-cross basis. Hence, the number of electrons in the outermost shells of A and B would be 5 and 2, respectively.

During chemical combination, elements don't tend to

  1. lose electrons

  2. gain electrons

  3. share electrons

  4. undergo unstable configuration by losing, accepting or sharing the electrons

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Elements do try to attain stable configuration by sharing, losing or gaining electrons.

Which of the following does not have hydrogen bonds?

  1. Phenol

  2. Liquid ammonia

  3. Water

  4. Liquid hydrochloric acid

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It does not contain hydrogen bonds.

Which of the following molecules has bent geometry?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Nitrogen oxide

  3. Ozone

  4. Methane

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ozone has bent geometry.

What type of molecule is ammonia?

  1. Polar

  2. Non-polar

  3. Paramagnetic

  4. Lewis acid

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Depending upon the electronegativities of the sharing atoms, a shared electron pair may be attracted at varied degree between the two atoms. This results in a partial positive and negative charge upon them and results in a polar molecule. Ammonia is thus, polar in nature.

Which of the following is a covalent compound?

  1. Cao.

  2. KCl

  3. Na2S

  4. H2

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a covalent compound formed by the sharing of electrons between two hydrogen atoms.

The hydrogen bonds are formed by

  1. Hf

  2. HCl

  3. HBr

  4. HI

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The difference between electronegativities of hydrogen and fluorine is maximum. Hence, the hydrogen bonds are formed by hydrogen fluoride molecule.

Which of the following molecules has the highest boiling point?

  1. Methane

  2. Ammonia

  3. Phosphine

  4. Hydrogen sulphide

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ammonia contains hydrogen bonds. Hence, its boiling point is high.

Which of the following statements is correct about solid NaCl?

  1. It is brittle.

  2. It is non-ionic.

  3. It is a non-conductor.

  4. It is a good conductor.

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Na and Cl form an electrovalent compound. Hence, they are able to conduct electricity.

In which of the following compounds are ionic, covalent and coordinate bonds present?

  1. H2O

  2. NH3

  3. KBr

  4. NaCN

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It contains all the three types of bonds.

The electronic structure of an element A is 1s2; element B is 1s2 2s2 2p2; element C is 1s2 2s2 2p5; element D is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Here, the tendency to form an electrovalent bond is large in

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As this element contains 7 electrons in the outermost shell, so it can accept one electron to form an electrovalent compound.

The crystal lattice of electrovalent compound is composed of

  1. atoms

  2. molecules

  3. oppositely charged ions

  4. both molecules and ions

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Electrovalent compounds are made up of negatively and positively charged ions.

How are ions formed from neutral atoms?

  1. By loss of electrons

  2. By gain of electrons

  3. By sharing of electrons

  4. By loss or gain of electrons

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Because ions are either positively charged or negatively charged, so these can be formed either by loss or gain of electrons.
