C. Remains of dead plants and animals buried millions of years ago
D. Direct combination of elements
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) are formed from organic matter deposited in sedimentary layers, subjected to heat and pressure over geological timescales. They are non-renewable because their formation takes millions of years.
Explanation:
Each carbon in diamond is sp³ hybridized and covalently bonded to four others in a tetrahedral geometry, forming a rigid 3D network. Graphite has a layered structure.
Explanation:
The long hydrocarbon chain (tail) of soap is non-polar and hydrophobic, so it dissolves into the oily/greasy dirt particle. The ionic head (hydrophilic) remains in the water. This forms a micelle around the dirt, emulsifying it and allowing it to be washed away. The tail-dirt interaction is via van der Waals forces.
Explanation:
Ionization energy generally increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge. Neon (noble gas) has the highest ionization energy in period 2 because of its stable filled octet (2s²2p⁶). Removing an electron requires enormous energy. Fluorine is next highest. Lithium has lowest. Noble gases have very high IE values, making them inert.
