Bakelite is a polymer of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Bakelite is a polymer of:
A. Ethylene
B. Tetrafluoroethylene
C. Vinyl chloride
D. Phenol and formaldehyde
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic, is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin. It is formed by a condensation reaction between phenol and formaldehyde. Once molded and heated, it sets permanently and cannot be remelted. It is used for electrical switches, utensil handles, and jewelry.

Question #1
Assertion (A): The first ionization energy of Nitrogen is higher than that of Oxygen. Reason (R): Nitrogen has a half-filled p-orbital which is exceptionally stable.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Nitrogen (1s2 2s2 2p3) has a exactly half-filled p-subshell, which confers extra stability due to symmetry and exchange energy. Oxygen (1s2 2s2 2p4) has one paired electron in the p-orbital, leading to electron-electron repulsion, making it easier to remove. Thus, N has a higher IE than O. Both are true and R explains A.

Question #2
Who is credited with the discovery of the atomic nucleus through the gold foil experiment?
A. Ernest Rutherford
B. James Chadwick
C. John Dalton
D. J. J. Thomson

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford, in 1911, along with Geiger and Marsden, bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most passed through, some were deflected at large angles, leading to the nuclear model of the atom—a small, dense, positively charged nucleus with electrons around it. Thomson's plum pudding model predicted no large deflections. Chadwick discovered neutron.

Question #3
Ammonia is used in the manufacture of:
A. Cement
B. Soap
C. Glass
D. Fertilizers like urea and ammonium nitrate

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ammonia reacts with CO₂ to form urea, and with HNO₃ to form ammonium nitrate, both key nitrogenous fertilizers. Glass uses Na₂CO₃; cement uses CaCO₃/clay; soap uses NaOH.
