The bond in H₂ molecule is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The bond in H₂ molecule is:
A. Polar covalent bond
B. Non-polar covalent bond
C. Ionic bond
D. Coordinate bond
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In H₂, two hydrogen atoms share their electrons equally because they have the same electronegativity. Thus, a non-polar covalent bond is formed. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing (e.g., HCl). Coordinate bonds involve one atom donating both electrons (e.g., NH₄⁺).

Question #1
Which of the following salts is used in the manufacture of glass?
A. Sodium carbonate
B. Ammonium chloride
C. Potassium nitrate
D. Sodium chloride

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), also called soda ash, is a key ingredient in glass manufacturing. It lowers the melting point of silica (SiO₂) and provides sodium oxide. The glass batch consists of sand (SiO₂), soda ash (Na₂CO₃), and limestone (CaCO₃). Sodium chloride is table salt, potassium nitrate used in gunpowder, ammonium chloride in batteries/leclanche cells.

In the modern periodic table, the element with atomic number 117 belongs to:
A. Group 17, Period 7
B. Group 17, Period 6
C. Group 1, Period 7
D. Group 18, Period 6

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Element 117 (tennessine, Ts) is a halogen in Group 17, Period 7. The modern periodic table has 7 periods and 18 groups. Halogens are in Group 17. Period 7 starts with Fr (87) and ends with Og (118). Ts is two places before Og. Exam trick: For atomic numbers after 86 (Rn), use period 7. Group 17 elements are F, Cl, Br, I, At, Ts.

Question #3
The acid present in ant sting is:
A. Formic acid
B. Citric acid
C. Lactic acid
D. Acetic acid

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ant sting contains formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH), causing irritation. Nettle sting also contains formic acid. To neutralize, apply a base like baking soda. Acetic acid is in vinegar, citric acid in citrus fruits, lactic acid in sour milk and muscles. Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid.
