A. The electrostatic forces between ions are strong
B. They have weak intermolecular forces
C. They are soft
D. They are covalent
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ionic compounds consist of positive and negative ions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction (ionic bonds). A large amount of energy is required to overcome these forces, resulting in high melting and boiling points. They also conduct electricity when molten or in solution.
Explanation:
Chlorination is the disinfection of water using chlorine or chlorine compounds to destroy pathogenic microorganisms. Chlorine reacts with water forming hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is a strong germicide. Ozonation uses ozone; distillation involves boiling and condensation. Filtration removes particulate matter but not all microorganisms. Chlorination is cost-effective and provides residual protection, though it may produce trihalomethanes as by-products.
Explanation:
Chlorination is a disinfection process. Chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid, which kills bacteria and viruses. It also provides residual protection in distribution pipes. Filtration removes particles; chlorine does not remove dissolved minerals or improve taste significantly; it can cause taste issues if excess.
Explanation:
Bakelite is a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin with excellent heat resistance and electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for switches, handles, and electrical fittings. Polythene and PVC are thermoplastics that soften on heating. Polystyrene is brittle and not highly heat resistant. Thermosets do not melt upon reheating.
