Which of the following is a metallic solid?

  1. Rubidium

  2. Ammonium chloride

  3. Sodium chloride

  4. Potassium chloride

In a solid, the particles are ……………. together. The forces between particles are ………………. so that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate.

  1. closely packed, weak

  2. loosely packed, strong

  3. closely packed, strong

  4. loosely packed, weak

  5. unpacked, strong


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In a solid, the particles (ions, atoms or molecules) are closely packed together. The forces between particles are strong so that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape, and a definite volume. Solids can only change their shape by force as when broken or cut.

Sulphur dioxide gas was used in refrigerator as refrigerant in previous years. Halogenated hydrocarbons are frequently used as refrigerant in refrigerator. Methyl chloride is used in refrigerator as refrigerant. A chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. They are also commonly known by the DuPont brand name Freon. The most common representative is dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12 or Freon-12). Many CFCs have been widely used as refrigerants, propellants (in aerosol applications), and solvents.

  1. NaCl

  2. NH4Cl

  3. KCl

  4. Diamond

  5. Sucrose

Explanation:

Molecular solids, made up of atoms or molecules are held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. It is characterised by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.

A matter with a definite volume, but without a definite shape is referred to as

  1. solid

  2. liquid

  3. gas

  4. plasma

  5. gas and plasma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Liquid state of the matter has no fixed shape, but has a fixed volume. 

Regarding the solid state of matter, the most suitable explanation is that it has

  1. definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volume

  2. definite volume

  3. definite mass and volume

  4. definite shape with fixed mass

  5. definite mass


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solids have definite shape, distinct boundaries and fixed volumes, i.e. they have negligible compressibility. Solids have a tendency to maintain their shape when subjected to outside force. Solids may break under force, but it is difficult to change their shape; so they are rigid.

The rate of evaporation is the least when there is

  1. increase in humidity

  2. decrease in humidity

  3. increase in surface area

  4. increase in wind speed

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Humidity is a term indicating the amount of water vapour present in air. The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.
