Carbon dioxide is associated with:

evs look, learn and experience matter: states, classification and properties study of matter general introduction: importance and scope of chemistry

  1. Elements

  2. Mixture

  3. Compound

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed of 2 oxygen atoms each covalently double bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state, as a trace gas at a concentration of $0.04 \%$ by volume.

Example of an element is:

evs look, learn and experience matter: states, classification and properties study of matter general introduction: importance and scope of chemistry

  1. Water

  2. Sodium hydroxide

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Sugar

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A chemical element is a pure chemical substance consisting of a single type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its atomic nucleus. If you change the number of protons an atom has, you change the type of element it is.

Here, hydrogen is an element while water, sodium hydroxide and sugar are compounds made up of more than elements.

  1. Element

  2. Mixture

  3. Compound

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iron(II) sulfide or ferrous sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula $FeS$. Iron sulfides are often non-stoichiometric. powdered iron sulfide is pyrophoric (ignites spontaneously in air).

The property that we use for classifying things depends on the ___________ of the classification.

evs look, learn and experience matter: states, classification and properties study of matter general introduction: importance and scope of chemistry

  1. grouping

  2. purpose

  3. information

  4. system

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Things are always classified to make 

(i)easy identification of things.
(ii)Can know all properties of group if we know about one element in the group.
The property that we use  for classifying things depend on the purpose of classification.

Which of the following is not a transition element?

evs look, learn and experience matter: states, classification and properties study of matter general introduction: importance and scope of chemistry

  1. Mn

  2. Fe

  3. Cu

  4. K

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
