Circle the correct option:
1. Which of the following statements is not true about an atom?
(a) Atoms are not able to exist independently.
(b) Atoms are the basic units from which
molecules and ions are formed.
(c) Atoms are always neutral in nature.
(d) Atoms aggregate in large numbers to form the matter that we can see, feel or
touch.
2. 1 u or 1 amu means
(a) 1/12th mass of C-12 atoms
(b) Mass of C-12 atom
(c) Mass of O-16 atom
(d) Mass of Hydrogen molecule
3. A sample of NH3 molecule irrespective of source contains 82.35% Nitrogen and
17.65% of Hydrogen by mass. This data supports:
(a) Law of Conservation of Mass
(b)Las of Multiple Proportions
(c) Law of Definite Proportions
(d)Avogadro’s Law
4. An element X is divalent and another element Y is tetravalent. The compound
formed by these two elements will be:
(a) XY
(b) XY2
(c) X2Y
(d) XY4
5. A change in the physical state can be brought about
1
(a) only when energy is given to the system
(b) only when energy is taken out from the system
(c) When energy is either given to, or taken out from the system
(d) Without any energy change
6. Which of the following represents a correct chemical formula?
(a) CaCl
(b) BiPO4
(c) NaSO4
(d) NaS
7. What is the formula mass unit of ZnO?
(a) 18 u
(b) 81 u
(c) 88 u
(d) 188 u
8. The simplest compounds, which are made up of two different elements are called
binary compounds. While writing the chemical formulae for compounds, the
constituent elements and their valencies are written. Then crossover the
valencies of the combining atoms. For the ionic compound, the symbol of cation
written first followed by the symbol of the anion. Then their charges are criss-
crossed to get the formula. The positive and negative charges must balance each
other and the overall structure must be neutral. The molecular mass of a
substance is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the
substance.

a. one
b. two
c. three
ii. The molecular mass of HNO3 is
a. 63u
b. 7u
c. 54u
iii. The formula unit mass of CaCl2 is
a. 111u
b. 342u
2
c. 213u
