Mendeleev's periodic table had anomalies because he arranged elements by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Mendeleev's periodic table had anomalies because he arranged elements by:
A. Atomic number
B. Electronegativity
C. Density
D. Atomic mass
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Mendeleev used atomic mass as basis. Anomalies like Ar (mass 40) placed before K (mass 39) occurred. These were resolved when Moseley proposed atomic number as the basis.

Question #1
Which of the following changes is a physical change?
A. Burning of coal
B. Boiling of water
C. Curdling of milk
D. Rusting of iron

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boiling water changes state from liquid to gas, but the chemical composition (H₂O) remains unchanged – physical change. Others form new substances.

Question #2
Charles' law is valid when:
A. Pressure and number of moles are constant
B. Volume and pressure are constant
C. Only volume is constant
D. Temperature 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 #3
The process of converting bauxite into pure alumina is called:
A. Contact process
B. Bayer's process
C. Hall-Héroult process
D. Ostwald process

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bayer's process uses hot NaOH to dissolve alumina from bauxite, leaving behind insoluble impurities (red mud). Alumina is then precipitated. Hall-Héroult is electrolytic reduction of alumina to aluminium.
