Q:

NH3 oxidation number?

A) -1 B) +1
C) 0 D) -3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0

Explanation:

NH3, Ammonia is a neutral compound as the individual oxidation numbers elements that make up the compound NH3 are Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H) sum to zero. 

We do not speak of the oxidation number of a molecule. We can speak of the oxidation numbers of the individual elements that make up the compound.

 

Here the oxidation number of Nirogen is -3 and that of Hydrogen is +1.

Now, NH3 = 1(-3) + 3(+1) = -3 + 3 = 0.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Genetic variation is the cornerstone of evolution, without which there can be no natural selection, and so a low genetic diversity decreases the ability of a species to survive and reproduce, explains lead author Yoshan Moodley, Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Venda in South Africa.

Two centuries ago, the black rhinoceros – which roamed much of sub Saharan Africa – had 64 different genetic lineages; but today only 20 of these lineages remain, says the paper. The species is now restricted to five countries, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Genetically unique populations that once existed in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi and Angola have disappeared. The origins of the 'genetic erosion' coincided with colonial rule in Africa and the popularity of big game hunting. From the second half of the 20th century, however, poaching for horns has dramatically depleted their population and genetic diversity, especially in Kenya and Tanzania.


From the second half of the 20th century what has caused a dramatic fall in black rhinoceros population?

A) poaching B) colonial rule
C) big game hunting D) fall in genetic diversity

A) the interesting B) the most interesting
C) most interesting D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) most interesting
