The modern periodic table is based on the periodic law proposed by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The modern periodic table is based on the periodic law proposed by:
A. John Dalton
B. Henry Moseley
C. Dmitri Mendeleev
D. Niels Bohr
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Henry Moseley discovered that the atomic number (number of protons) is the fundamental property of an element, not atomic mass. He proposed the modern periodic law: properties are periodic functions of atomic numbers. Mendeleev's law was based on atomic mass, which had anomalies.

Question #1
Beta particles are emitted from the nucleus. They are:
A. Helium nuclei
B. Fast electrons
C. Neutrons
D. Protons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:

Question #2
The unit of electrochemical equivalent (Z) is:
A. g/mol
B. C/g
C. g/C (gram per coulomb)
D. C/mol

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
From Faraday's first law, m = ZQ, so Z = m/Q. SI unit is kg/C, but practical unit is g/C. It is the mass of substance liberated per unit charge.
