1. Mendeleev could not assign a correct position to which of the following elements in his table ?

Lithium

Potassium

Hydrogen

Helium

Answer: Hydrogen

Explanation:

The position of hydrogen was not justified in Mendeleev's periodic table. He positioned hydrogen in the first column above alkali metal. Hydrogen resembles not only alkali metals but also halogens in several ways. Hence, hydrogen can also be placed above the halogen group


2. Who demonstrated that objects of different masses would reach the ground together when dropped from the same height ?

Isaac Newton

Archimedes

Robert Boyle

Galileo Galilei

Answer: Galileo Galilei

Explanation:

According to Galileo Galilei, if objects of different masses are dropped from the same height in the absence of air resistance the bodies will ground together at the same time


3. Which of the following, can neither be created nor be destroyed ?

Force

Power

Momentum

Energy

Answer: Energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another


4. Mass / Volume = .............. ?

Pressure

Area

Density

Force

Answer: Density

Explanation:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume


5. A mixture of sand and salt can be separated by ?

Sublimation

Sieving

Dissolving salt in water and then filtration

Dissolving salt in water and then distillation

Answer: Dissolving salt in water and then distillation

Explanation:

the water to boil away and collect salt from there. Hence, we can separate sand and salt by Dissolving salt in water and then distillation


6. Which of the following has low density and low melting point ?

Na

Fe

Cu

Au

Answer: Na

Explanation:

Sodium


7. If the electronic configuration of an element is 2, 8, 2, to which period of the Modern Periodic Table does it belong ?

4

2

12

3

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Element with electronic configuration 2,8,2 belongs to 3rd period and 2nd group. The valence electrons give us the idea of group number. As the electrons are divided into 3 different shell therefore period number is 3


8. 1 joule / second = ?

1 ohm

1 ampere

1 watt

1 coulomb

Answer: 1 watt

Explanation:

one joule per second is equivalent to one watt. The SI units for work and time are Joules and seconds, respectively. Therefore, One Watt was defined as a power of 1 Joule per second


9. Modern periodic table is based on .......... ?

atomic number

number of positrons

atomic mass number

number of neutrons

Answer: atomic number

Explanation:

The modern periodic table is based on the periodic law: "The chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number."


10. A boy, of mass 50 kg, runs up a staircase of 45 steps in 10 s. If the height of each step is 14 cm, find his power. Take g= 10ms-2 ?

315 ms

315 W

337.5W

310.55 J

Answer: 315 W

Explanation:

Given, the mass of the body, m = 50 kg. h is the height, t is the time. g is the acceleration due to gravity which is aproximated to 10 m/s2 ? h = 45 × 14 = 630 cm = 6.30 m ? t = 10 s, g = 10 ms-2 ? Potential Energy = mgh = 50 × 10 × 6.30 = 3150 J. (where J is the unit of energy/work which is joules) ? Power = PE / time = Energy / time = 3150 / 10 = 315 watt. (watt is the unit of power which is different from units)
