The formation of ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) from NH₃ and H⁺ involves: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The formation of ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) from NH₃ and H⁺ involves:
A. Metallic bond
B. Covalent bond
C. Coordinate bond
D. Ionic bond
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
NH₃ has a lone pair on nitrogen; it donates this pair to H⁺ to form a coordinate (dative) bond, where both electrons in the bond come from nitrogen. The resulting NH₄⁺ has four equivalent N-H bonds.

Question #1
The process of converting a solid directly into vapor without passing through the liquid state is called:
A. Distillation
B. Condensation
C. Sublimation
D. Evaporation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Sublimation is the direct transition from solid to gas phase. Examples: naphthalene, camphor, iodine, solid CO₂ (dry ice). Evaporation is liquid to gas; condensation is gas to liquid; distillation separates liquid mixtures based on boiling points.

Question #2
During the electrolysis of acidified water, the volume ratio of hydrogen to oxygen collected is:
A. 1:1
B. 1:2
C. 2:1
D. 3:1

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Water decomposes as 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂. So 2 volumes of H₂ for every 1 volume of O₂, ratio 2:1. Hydrogen collected at cathode, oxygen at anode.

Question #3
In the modern periodic table, the element with atomic number 117 belongs to:
A. Group 18, Period 6
B. Group 17, Period 7
C. Group 17, Period 6
D. Group 1, Period 7

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Element 117 (tennessine, Ts) is a halogen in Group 17, Period 7. The modern periodic table has 7 periods and 18 groups. Halogens are in Group 17. Period 7 starts with Fr (87) and ends with Og (118). Ts is two places before Og. Exam trick: For atomic numbers after 86 (Rn), use period 7. Group 17 elements are F, Cl, Br, I, At, Ts.
