  2. Dalton

  3. Rutherford

  4. Laveziour

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rontgen discovered X-rays.
Dalton proposed the postulates of Atomic Theory.
Rutherford discovered $\alpha$ and $\beta$ and also [performed the Gold-foil experiment for the discovery of the nucleus.
Laveziour attempted to give the explanatory definition of elements and stated that element is the basic unit of substance.

Identify which group of objects are made from the same material.

  1. Comb, hairclip, water bottle and shoes

  2. Shoes, brief-case, belts and flower pot

  3. Car, bike, bicycle and ship

  4. Shirts, night suits, bed-sheets and mirrors

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The option $C$ contain the objects made up of by same material that is plastic .

Which of the following sublimes on heating?

chemistry nature of things objects around us different types of materials materials around us and importance of grouping

  1. Sodium chloride

  2. Copper sulphate

  3. Ammonium chloride

  4. Lead sulphate

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sublimation is the process where a solid directly converts into gas without reaching liquid state.
Ammonium chloride is the solid which directly converts into gas on heating.

Which of the following object(s) are made from plastic?

chemistry nature of things objects around us different types of materials materials around us and importance of grouping

  1. Bucket

  2. Table

  3. Plate (thali)

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plastic is a very useful polymer. It is used on a large scale for production of various articles. Buckets, tables, plates, chairs, bottles are few examples of articles made of plastic. Hence answer is option D.

Which of the following object(s) are made from steel?

  1. Cupboard

  2. Table

  3. Chair

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Steel is an important alloy of ions that is used on a very large scale in modern industry due to its high durability and strength. It is also used to manufacture tables, chairs, cupboards, fans, utensils,etc. Thus answer is option D.

Which of the following is called as dry ice

chemistry nature of things objects around us different types of materials materials around us and importance of grouping

  1. Solid $CO _2$

  2. Solid $NO _2$

  3. Solid $SO _2$

  4. $CO _2$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice. Because it looks like ice and because when it melts (it actually sublimes) it goes from solid straight to gas, no liquid, hence dry ice.
Hence option A is correct.

Electric wires, coils, and machines are made of metals. Which of the following metal cannot be used for them?

chemistry nature of things objects around us different types of materials materials around us and importance of grouping

  1. copper

  2. silver

  3. iron

  4. sodium

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Electric wires, coils and machines are made of hard metals. Sodium is a very soft metal which can be cut through knife hence it cannot use to prepare electric wires, coils and machines.

The density of alcohol is 800 $ \displaystyle Kg/m^{3} $. Its relative density is:

evs nature of things properties of materials grouping and classification of objects sorting materials into groups

  1. 8

  2. 0.8

  3. 0.08

  4. 800

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Relative density is the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of water.

We know that, density of water is $1 gm/cm^3   = 10^3 kg/m^3$

So, relative density of alcohol = $\dfrac{800}{1000}$ = $0.8$

Hence, option B is correct.

Solubility is the amount of the .................... present in the saturated solution at a particular temperature.

chemistry nature of things properties of materials grouping and classification of objects sorting materials into groups

  1. solute

  2. solvent

  3. dispersed phase

  4. dispersed medium

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

At any particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving, is said to be a saturated solution. In other words, when no more solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is called a saturated solution. The amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at this temperature is called its solubility.

The amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at a particular temperature is called its :

chemistry nature of things properties of materials grouping and classification of objects sorting materials into groups

  1. solubility

  2. saturation

  3. solvent concentration

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

At any particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving is said to be a saturated solution.


The amount of solute present in the saturated solution at this temperature is called its solubility.

Hence, option A is correct.
