Isobars have different: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Isobars have different:
A. Numbers of neutrons
B. Atomic numbers
C. Mass numbers
D. Both B and C
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Isobars are atoms of different elements, so they have different atomic numbers (protons). Since mass number is same, number of neutrons also differs. Example: ⁴⁰Ar (Z=18, N=22) and ⁴⁰Ca (Z=20, N=20). Mass number = 40 same. So both atomic number and neutrons differ. Option D is correct as both B and C are true.

Question #1
The phenomenon of global warming is primarily linked to an increase in:
A. Ozone layer thickness
B. Oxygen concentration
C. Dust particles in the air
D. Greenhouse gases concentration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average temperature, primarily caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (like CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap outgoing infrared radiation, enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and leading to climate change.

Question #2
The ozone layer protects us from:
A. Radio waves
B. Ultraviolet radiation
C. Infrared radiation
D. Visible light

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The stratospheric ozone layer absorbs the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV-B and UV-C) radiation, preventing it from reaching Earth's surface. UV can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to ecosystems. Ozone depletion is caused by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). Infrared is associated with heat, visible light is mostly harmless, radio waves are not absorbed by ozone.

Question #3
The method of purifying water by passing it through a semipermeable membrane under pressure is called:
A. Ozonation
B. Distillation
C. Chlorination
D. Reverse osmosis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Reverse osmosis (RO) uses pressure to force water through a membrane that blocks dissolved salts and impurities. Distillation uses boiling/condensation. Chlorination and ozonation are disinfection methods, not for desalination.
