Glass is a: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Glass is a:
A. Crystalline solid
B. Amorphous solid
C. Ionic solid
D. Molecular solid
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid; it lacks a long-range ordered structure. It is sometimes called a supercooled liquid. It softens over a temperature range rather than having a sharp melting point. Quartz (SiO₂) is crystalline.

Question #1
The combined gas law is represented by:
A. PV = nRT
B. V/T = constant
C. PV = constant
D. P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Combined gas law combines Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's laws for a fixed mass of gas. It relates P, V, T when all change. PV=nRT is ideal gas equation for n moles.

Question #3
Which of the following is an electrovalent compound?
A. KCl
B. CCl₄
C. CO₂
D. CH₄

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
KCl (potassium chloride) is an ionic (electrovalent) compound formed by transfer of one electron from K to Cl, giving K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions held by electrostatic attraction. CH₄, CCl₄, CO₂ are covalent compounds with electron sharing. Electrovalent compounds have high melting points, conduct electricity in molten/aqueous state, and are generally soluble in water.
