  2. Question 2 of 50
    2. Question

    The soft silvery metallic element which ionizes easily when heated or exposed to light and is present in atomic clocks is:

    Hint

    Caesium is a chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft, silvery-golden alkali metal.

    3. Question

    The mercury and sodium street lamps light up because of:

    Hint

    The mercury and sodium street lamps light up because of atomic emission. An electric discharge takes place when electricity is passed through sodium vapors at low or high pressure. As a result, the valence electron present in sodium atoms becomes excited and emits light. The mercury vapor lamp works by creating an electric current to mercury vapor within a sealed glass jacket.

    Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is water (H2O) with an extra oxygen molecule. H2O2 contains a single oxygen-oxygen bond. When its oxygen-oxygen bond breaks, hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.

  8. Question 8 of 50
    8. Question

    What happens when a drop of glycerol is added to crushed KMnO4 spread on a paper?

    Hint

    When a drop of glycerol is added to crushed KMnO4 spread on a paper, the paper will ignite. As the glycerin comes in contact with the KMnO4, the oxidizing properties of the permanganate ion come into play with the glycerin. The oxidation of the glycerin is very exothermic and after a few seconds, the released heat causes the glycerin to also ignite and burst into flame.

  11. Question 11 of 50
    11. Question

    When a helium atom loses an electron it becomes:

    Hint

    When a helium atom loses an electron it becomes a positive helium ion. When an atom gains/loses an electron, the atom becomes charged, and is called an ion. If a neutral atom gains an electron, it becomes negative. This kind of ion is called an anion. If a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. This kind of ion is called a cation.
