James Chadwick discovered the neutron in the year: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

James Chadwick discovered the neutron in the year:
A. 1897
B. 1932
C. 1913
D. 1911
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. He bombarded beryllium with alpha particles and observed a highly penetrating, neutral radiation, which he identified as neutrons. This discovery explained isotopes and completed the basic picture of the atom's subatomic particles.

Question #1
Faraday's first law: mass deposited ∝ quantity of electricity. The constant of proportionality (electrochemical equivalent) depends on:
A. Temperature
B. Current
C. Time
D. Nature of the substance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electrochemical equivalent (Z) is mass deposited per unit charge. It depends on molar mass and number of electrons transferred (valency). Z = M/(nF). It differs for different substances. Current and time affect total charge but not Z.

Question #2
Which of the following alloys contains lead?
A. Bronze
B. Duralumin
C. Solder
D. Brass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Solder is an alloy primarily used for welding electrical components and pipes. It is traditionally composed of lead (Pb) and tin (Sn), typically in a 60:40 or 50:50 ratio. Brass is copper and zinc, bronze is copper and tin, and duralumin is an alloy of aluminum, copper, magnesium, and manganese.

Question #3
Enzymes in yeast catalyze the conversion of glucose to ethanol. This is an example of:
A. Saponification
B. Fermentation
C. Oxidation
D. Esterification

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fermentation is an anaerobic biological process in which enzymes (zymase) convert glucose to ethanol and CO₂: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂. Oxidation would require oxygen. Esterification forms esters, saponification makes soap. Fermentation is used in brewing, winemaking, and baking (where CO₂ makes bread rise). The temperature is kept around 30-35°C.
