The process of vulcanization of rubber was invented by:
A. Wallace Carothers
B. Charles Goodyear
C. Hermann Staudinger
D. Leo Baekeland
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Vulcanization is the chemical process of converting natural rubber or related polymers into more durable materials by adding sulfur or other equivalent curatives. This process was discovered by Charles Goodyear in 1839, revolutionizing the rubber industry by making it less sticky and more temperature-resistant.
Explanation:
Reverse osmosis (RO) uses pressure to force water through a membrane that blocks dissolved salts and impurities. Distillation uses boiling/condensation. Chlorination and ozonation are disinfection methods, not for desalination.
Explanation:
Bohr's model successfully explains the spectrum of hydrogen and hydrogen-like species (single electron systems like He⁺, Li²⁺). However, it fails to explain the spectra of multi-electron atoms due to electron-electron repulsions and cannot account for the splitting of spectral lines in magnetic (Zeeman) and electric (Stark) fields.
Explanation:
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymerized from tetrafluoroethene (CF₂=CF₂). CH₂=CH₂ gives polythene; CH₂=CHCl gives PVC; CH₂=CH-C₆H₅ (styrene) gives polystyrene. The C-F bond is extremely strong, giving Teflon its chemical inertness and thermal stability.
