Question #2
Which allotrope of carbon is the hardest natural substance?
A. Graphite
B. Diamond
C. Lamp black
D. Coal

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Diamond is the hardest known natural material due to its rigid three-dimensional network of covalent bonds with sp³ hybridization, forming a tetrahedral structure. Graphite is soft and slippery because of its layered structure with weak van der Waals forces between layers. Coal is an amorphous form of carbon. Diamond is used in cutting, drilling, and jewelry. Mohs hardness of diamond is 10.

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by:
A. Antoine Lavoisier
B. Jöns Jacob Berzelius
C. John Dalton
D. Joseph Proust

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
John Dalton formulated the law of multiple proportions: If two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in ratios of small whole numbers. Lavoisier gave law of conservation of mass. Proust gave law of definite proportions. Dalton's atomic theory explained these laws.
