1. Which one among the following is an acidic oxide ?

Al2O3

CO

Na2O

CO2

Answer: CO2

Explanation:


2. Aluminium is used for making cooking utensils. which of the following properties of aluminium are responsible for the same ?

Good thermal conductivity, High melting point

Good electrical conductivity, Ductility

Good thermal conductivity, Ductility

Good thermal conductivity, Good electrical conductivity

Answer: Good thermal conductivity, High melting point

Explanation:

Aluminium has good thermal conductivity and high melting point. As a good conductor of heat, it helps in heat transfer and cooking of food. With the high melting point, one can cook food in such utensils at higher temperatures and the Aluminium utensils can withstand such higher temperatures without being melted by the heat.


3. The ability of metals to be drawn into thin wire is known as ?

Conductivity

Ductility

Sonorousity

Malleability

Answer: Ductility

Explanation:

The ability of metals to be drawn into thin wire is called ductility. It is one such property of metals that is used to make wires from metals. Metals such as copper have high ductility and thus can be drawn into long and thin wires without breaking.
