The bond in H₂ molecule is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The bond in H₂ molecule is:
A. Polar covalent bond
B. Ionic bond
C. Non-polar covalent bond
D. Coordinate bond
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In H₂, two hydrogen atoms share their electrons equally because they have the same electronegativity. Thus, a non-polar covalent bond is formed. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing (e.g., HCl). Coordinate bonds involve one atom donating both electrons (e.g., NH₄⁺).

Question #1
In the electrolysis of acidified water, the gas collected at the cathode is:
A. Hydrogen
B. Nitrogen
C. Chlorine
D. Oxygen

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
During the electrolysis of water, reduction occurs at the cathode (negative electrode), where H⁺ ions gain electrons to form hydrogen gas (2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂). Oxidation occurs at the anode, producing oxygen gas. The volume of H₂ collected is exactly twice that of O₂.

Question #2
Half-life of a radioactive isotope is 5 years. What percentage remains after 15 years?
A. 50%
B. 25%
C. 6.25%
D. 12.5%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
15/5 = 3 half-lives. Remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8 = 12.5%. Each half-life reduces the amount by half.

Question #3
Isobars have different:
A. Numbers of neutrons
B. Atomic numbers
C. Both B and C
D. Mass numbers

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.
