An ionic bond is formed by the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An ionic bond is formed by the:
A. Mutual sharing of electrons
B. Pooling of electrons
C. Complete transfer of electrons
D. Sharing of electrons
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
An ionic (electrovalent) bond is formed by the complete transfer of one or more electrons from a metal to a non-metal, resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions which are held together by strong electrostatic forces. Sharing of electrons forms covalent bonds, while pooling describes metallic bonds.

Question #1
Charles' law is valid when:
A. Pressure and number of moles are constant
B. Only volume is constant
C. Temperature and pressure are constant
D. Volume and pressure are constant

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Charles' law: V ∝ T at constant pressure and for a fixed mass (n constant). If pressure or amount changes, the relationship does not hold. The temperature must be in Kelvin.

Question #2
Isotopes of hydrogen include protium, deuterium, and tritium. Which one is radioactive?
A. Protium
B. Tritium
C. Both protium and deuterium
D. Deuterium

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Tritium (³H) is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of ~12.3 years, decaying by beta emission to ³He. Protium (¹H) and deuterium (²H) are stable. Tritium is used in self-luminous paints, tracer studies, and nuclear fusion. It occurs naturally in very small amounts from cosmic rays but is mainly produced in nuclear reactors.

Question #3
Which scientist proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model of the atom?
A. Ernest Rutherford
B. John Dalton
C. Niels Bohr
D. J.J. Thomson

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
J.J. Thomson proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model in 1904 after discovering the electron. He envisioned the atom as a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded within it, like plums in a pudding. This was later disproved by Rutherford's gold foil experiment.
