Question #1
Crystallization is used to purify:
A. Liquids
B. Plasma
C. Solids
D. Gases

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Crystallization separates a pure solid from a solution by cooling or evaporating the solvent. Impurities remain in the mother liquor. Example: purifying copper sulfate. Distillation for liquids; filtration for insoluble solids.

Question #2
Which element was discovered by Henry Moseley through his X-ray spectra experiments?
A. New way to determine atomic number
B. Proton
C. Electron
D. Neutron

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Henry Moseley (1913) established the concept of atomic number as the number of protons through X-ray spectra of elements. He showed that atomic number, not atomic mass, is the fundamental property for arranging elements in the periodic table, resolving anomalies in Mendeleev's table. He did not discover a particle but a principle. Modern periodic law is based on atomic number.

Question #3
Which of the following is a method of refining (purification) of metals?
A. Zone refining
B. Poling
C. All of the above
D. Liquation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Refining is the final step in metallurgy to obtain pure metal. Poling is used for copper to remove oxide impurities. Liquation separates low-melting metals (like tin) from high-melting impurities. Zone refining is used for producing ultra-pure semiconductors (like Si, Ge) based on the principle that impurities are more soluble in the molten state.
