No explanation has been provided for this answer.
The shape of the water molecule is_______?
Linear
Pyramidal
Tetrahedral
V-shaped
Correct answer is D
The bond angle in water is compressed approximately to 105°, such that the structure of the water molecule is V-shaped or Angular.
Which of the following arrangements shows increasing order of reactivity of the halogens?
F2 > Cl2 > Br2 >I2
I2 < Br2 < Cl2
F2 < Cl2 < Br2
I2 > Br2 > Cl2 > F2
Correct answer is B
The reactivity of halogens decreases as you move down Group 7.
Halogens become less reactive as you move down the group as the atomic radius of the element increases which means that the distance between the outer shell of electrons and the nucleus increases.
An unsaturated solution differs from a saturated solution at a given temperature because it
Cannot dissolve more solute
Can hold more solute than it can actually dissolve
Can still dissolve more solute at given temperature
Form crystal more easily on cooling
Correct answer is C
An unsaturated solution contains a lesser amount of solute than that in a saturated solution. It can go on to dissolve more quantities of solute at the same temperature until it becomes a saturated solution.
Aluminium is used in the manufacture or aircraft because it
Is hard and brittle
Is light and resists corrosion
Has high density and conducts electricity
Is malleable and ductile
Correct answer is B
