Mendeleev's periodic table had anomalies because he arranged elements by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Mendeleev's periodic table had anomalies because he arranged elements by:
A. Atomic number
B. Density
C. Electronegativity
D. Atomic mass
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Mendeleev used atomic mass as basis. Anomalies like Ar (mass 40) placed before K (mass 39) occurred. These were resolved when Moseley proposed atomic number as the basis.

Question #1
An element 'X' has electronic configuration 2,8,7. It belongs to:
A. Group 16, Period 3
B. Group 7, Period 2
C. Group 18, Period 3
D. Group 17, Period 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Atomic number = 2+8+7=17 (chlorine). Period = number of shells = 3. Valence electrons = 7 → Group 17 (10+7 for p-block). Group 18 has 8 valence electrons.

Who is credited with the discovery of the nucleus through the alpha-particle scattering experiment?
A. J.J. Thomson
B. James Chadwick
C. Ernest Rutherford
D. Niels Bohr

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford, along with his students Geiger and Marsden, conducted the famous gold foil experiment in 1911. By observing that a few alpha particles bounced back, he concluded that the atom has a small, dense, positively charged center called the nucleus.

Question #3
Which of the following is used to remove grease stains from clothes?
A. Vinegar
B. Sodium chloride
C. Detergent
D. Ethanol

Correct Answer: Option C
