Stainless steel is an alloy of iron with: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron with:
A. Chromium and nickel
B. Lead and tin
C. Copper and zinc
D. Aluminium and tin
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Stainless steel contains iron, chromium (min 10.5%), and often nickel. Chromium forms a passive oxide layer preventing rust. Nickel improves ductility and corrosion resistance. Molybdenum may be added for pitting resistance. Brass is Cu-Zn, bronze is Cu-Sn, solder is Pb-Sn.

Question #1
Which fossil fuel is found in association with petroleum deposits and is the cleanest burning?
A. Lignite
B. Natural gas
C. Peat
D. Coal

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Natural gas (methane) is often found above petroleum deposits, trapped under cap rock. It burns cleaner than coal and oil, producing less CO₂, no SO₂, and minimal particulates. Coal (including lignite) contains more impurities. Peat is an early stage of coal. Natural gas is transported via pipelines or as LNG.

Question #2
Niels Bohr modified Rutherford's atomic model by proposing that:
A. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
B. Electrons have wave-like properties.
C. Electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.
D. Electrons revolve in fixed, discrete circular orbits called energy levels.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Niels Bohr proposed his model in 1913 to overcome the defects of Rutherford's model. He stated that electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific, discrete circular orbits (shells) with fixed energy, and they do not radiate energy while in these orbits, explaining atomic stability.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about cathode rays is incorrect?
A. They are made up of electrons.
B. They travel in straight lines.
C. Their nature depends on the gas used in the discharge tube.
D. They are deflected by magnetic and electric fields.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cathode rays consist of electrons, which are fundamental particles. Therefore, their nature (charge to mass ratio) is independent of the gas used in the cathode ray tube or the material of the cathode. All other statements are correct properties of cathode rays, demonstrating their fundamental particle nature.
