Catalyst in a reaction:

  1. lower the activation energy

  2. increases the activation energy

  3. increases the rate of reaction

  4. both A and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy. Since both statements A and C are correct, D is the correct choice.

A biological catalyst is

  1. $N _2$ molecules

  2. an enzyme

  3. an amino acid<span class="MathJax MathJax_Processing">

  4. a carbohydrate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Biological catalysts are proteins known as enzymes, which speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms. Amino acids are the building blocks of enzymes, but the enzyme itself is the catalyst.

Transition elements are also known as ____________.

  1. $d$ - block elements
  2. $f$ - block elements
  3. $s$ - block elements

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The transition elements are also known as the $d$-block elements because while the outermost level contains at most two electrons, their next to outermost main levels have incompletely filled $d$ sub-orbitals, which are filled-up progressively ongoing across the periodic table from $8$ to $18$ electrons. The filling of the $d$ sub-orbitals of the transition elements across a row of the periodic table is not always regular.


Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$

A metal crystallizes with a face-centred cubic lattice. The edge length of the unit cell is 408 pm. The diameter of the metal atom is:

  1. 228 pm

  2. 288 pm

  3. 144 pm

  4. 326 pm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, the relation between edge length (a) and atomic radius (r) is a = 2 * sqrt(2) * r. The diameter (d) is 2r. Thus, d = a / sqrt(2). Given a = 408 pm, d = 408 / 1.414 = 288.5 pm, which rounds to 288 pm.

The modern periodic table is most_________ form of periodic table.

  1. insignificant

  2. Significant

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In the standard periodic table, the elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number. Thus, it is relatively easy to predict the chemical properties of an element if one knows the properties of the elements around it i.e. it is more significant form of periodic table.

Significance of classification of periodic table is to ___________.

  1. predict the blocks of elements

  2. predicts the groups of elements

  3. both A and B

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Periodic classification of elements is the method by which elements are grouped on the basis of their characteristics. Classification of elements in groups provide us a fixed pattern in which the elements change their properties periodically. Periodic table made the study of physical and chemical properties of elements simple and organized.
