Question #1
The combining capacity of an element is called its:
A. Valency
B. Mass number
C. Ionization energy
D. Atomic number

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Valency is the number of electrons an atom can lose, gain, or share to achieve a stable octet. It determines the number of chemical bonds it can form. For example, carbon has valency 4, oxygen 2, chlorine 1. Atomic number is number of protons, mass number is protons+neutrons, ionization energy is energy required to remove electron.

Question #2
Which of the following is a thermoplastic?
A. Polythene
B. Melamine
C. Bakelite
D. Vulcanized rubber

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Polythene (polyethylene) softens on heating and can be remolded, thus thermoplastic. Bakelite and melamine are thermosetting (cannot be remolded). Vulcanized rubber is also thermoset due to cross-linking. Thermoplastics have linear or branched chains, no cross-links.

Question #3
A solution turns red litmus blue. Its pH is likely:
A. 5
B. 7
C. 9
D. 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A solution turning red litmus blue is basic, so pH > 7. Among options, pH 9 is basic. pH 2 and 5 are acidic (blue litmus turns red). pH 7 is neutral. Litmus is a natural indicator extracted from lichens. Red litmus in base remains blue, blue litmus in acid turns red. Practical: Phenolphthalein gives pink in basic solution (pH > 8.3).
