Q1. Which option supports Dalton’s atomic theory?
(a) Atoms of an element have identical mass.
(b) Atoms can be created by chemical reactions.
(c) Atoms of different elements have similar chemical properties.
(d) Atoms of an element change their properties in chemical reactions.
Q2. Which symbol is a correct representation of cobalt according to IUPAC?
(a) CO
(b) Co
(c) co
(d) cO
Q3.For question number 6 to 8, two statements are given-one labelled Assertion(A) and the
other labelled Rea- son(R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a),
(b),(c),(d) and (e) as given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and, R is correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) Both A and R are true but, R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
(e) Both A and R are false.
Q3.Assertion: The formula of sodium carbonate is Na2 CO3.
Reason: While writing the formula of a compound, the valencies of the cation and anion are
crossed.
Q4.Assertion: Formula unit mass of CaCl2is 111 u.
Reason : 32 g of oxygen contains 6.022 x 1023molecules.
Q5.Assertion: Helium is a monoatomic element.
Reason :Molecules of helium (He) are made up of only one atom.
