Galvanization is the process of coating iron with: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Galvanization is the process of coating iron with:
A. Copper
B. Chromium
C. Zinc
D. Tin
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Galvanization is coating iron or steel with a thin layer of zinc to prevent rusting. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode—it corrodes preferentially (being more reactive) even if the coating is scratched, protecting the underlying iron. Tin coating (tin plating) protects only if the layer is intact. Chromium plating provides a shiny surface and corrosion resistance but works differently. Galvanized iron is used for roofing sheets, buckets, etc.

Question #1
Which type of glass is used for making laboratory glassware and cookware due to its high thermal resistance?
A. Quartz glass
B. Lead crystal glass
C. Borosilicate glass
D. Soda-lime glass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Borosilicate glass (e.g., Pyrex) contains boron trioxide (B₂O₃) along with silica, giving it low coefficient of thermal expansion, thus resistant to cracking under temperature changes. Soda-lime glass is ordinary glass, used for bottles, windows. Lead crystal has high refractive index for decorative items. Quartz glass (pure SiO₂) has very high melting point but is expensive. Borosilicate is ideal for beakers, test tubes.

Question #2
Isobars have different:
A. Atomic numbers
B. Mass numbers
C. Both B and C
D. Numbers of neutrons

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Isobars are atoms of different elements, so they have different atomic numbers (protons). Since mass number is same, number of neutrons also differs. Example: ⁴⁰Ar (Z=18, N=22) and ⁴⁰Ca (Z=20, N=20). Mass number = 40 same. So both atomic number and neutrons differ. Option D is correct as both B and C are true.

Question #3
The atomic radius of sodium is larger than that of chlorine because:
A. Chlorine is a gas
B. Chlorine has greater nuclear charge attracting electrons more strongly
C. Sodium is a metal
D. Sodium has fewer electrons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Across period 3, nuclear charge increases (Na: 11+, Cl: 17+) while electrons are added to the same shell. The increased attraction pulls electrons closer, decreasing radius. Na has larger radius despite having fewer electrons.
