Chemistry Questions

Q:

Which of the following elements has the lowest electronegativity

A) Bromine B) Fluorine
C) Carbon D) Lithium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Lithium

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency for an atom to attract electrons. There are general trends on the periodic table which you can use to determine the relative electronegativity for different elements, but otherwise you can also look at their valence shell and effective nuclear charge to determine their relative electronegativity.

 

Here from the given options, Lithium has least tendency to attract electrons and thus has a lower electronegativity.

Q:

A mixture of ethyl alcohol  and water can be seperated  by 

A) evaporation B) sublimation
C) using a seperating funnel D) fractional distillation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) fractional distillation

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is the process of seperation of a mixture of two or more liquids into the different fractions, which differ fairly widely in their boiling points. The liquid with a lower boiling point will be vaporized first and hence would be the distillate (first fraction). Eg. Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of 78.10C and water 1000C. When a mixture of these two liquids is heated, alcohol vaporizes first and is collected separately as the distillate.

Q:

Which statement about weak bonds is correct?

A) Covalent bonds are weak bonds B) They are hard to break
C) Weak bonds are transient and easily reversible. D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Weak bonds are transient and easily reversible.

Explanation:

In chemistry, Weak bonds are those forces of attraction that, do not take a large amount of energy to break.

 

For example, hydrogen bonds are broken by energies in the order of 4 - 5 kcal/mol.

Ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions are considered weak bonds.

 

Weak bonds are transient and easily reversible.
