The chemical name of Vitamin C is:
A. Ascorbic acid
B. Retinol
C. Tocopherol
D. Calciferol

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vitamin C is chemically known as ascorbic acid (C6H8O6). It is a vital nutrient involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters. Deficiency leads to scurvy. Retinol is Vitamin A, Calciferol is Vitamin D, and Tocopherol is Vitamin E.

Question #2
In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is the electrode where:
A. Electrons enter the external circuit
B. Reduction occurs
C. Anions are discharged
D. Oxidation occurs

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Cathode is where reduction takes place (gain of electrons). In electrolytic cells, cathode is negative (connected to negative terminal of battery). Cations migrate to cathode and are reduced.

Question #3
John Dalton's atomic theory helped explain:
A. Discovery of radioactivity
B. Wave nature of electron
C. Law of multiple proportions
D. Quantum theory

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dalton's atomic theory (1808) provided a framework for the laws of chemical combination—conservation of mass, constant composition, and multiple proportions. The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements form more than one compound, masses of one that combine with fixed mass of the other are in small whole number ratios. Dalton proposed atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.
