Q:

Pieces of camphor placed on water move about rapidly. This is because of

A) diffusion B) viscosity
C) surface tension D) capillarity
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) surface tension

Explanation:

The Camphor slowly dissolves in the water lowering the latter's surface tension in the immediate neighbourhood. The stronger pull exerted by the uncontaminated portion of water brings about a movement of the surface and the camphor particles are carried along with it. When after sometime the whole surface settles for the reduced tension, the movement of the camphor too short.

Q:

No current will flow between two charged bodies if they have the same 

A) resistance B) charge
C) potential D) charge/ potential ratio
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) potential

Explanation:

An electric charge always flows from a body at higher potential to a body at a lower potential irrespective of the amounts of charges contained in them. In the question , no current flows. So there is no potential difference.

Q:

Is B2+ Paramagnetic or Diamagnetic?

Answer

B2+ is a Paramagnetic. 


The filled orbitals are σ(1s)22σ(1s)22σ(2s)22σ(2s)22. The half-filled orbitals are π(2pxx) and π(2pyy). Since it posses 2 unpaired electrons, it is Paramagnetic in nature.
