Vulcanized rubber has better properties due to: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Vulcanized rubber has better properties due to:
A. Cross-linking of polymer chains with sulfur
B. Removal of impurities
C. Addition of plasticizers
D. Addition of carbon black
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Sulfur forms disulfide cross-links between polyisoprene chains, providing elasticity, tensile strength, and resistance to temperature changes. Carbon black is filler/additive for reinforcement but not the vulcanization agent.

Question #1
The reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water is:
A. Reduction
B. Oxidation
C. Neutralization
D. Decomposition

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water. Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O. It is a double displacement reaction. The pH of the resulting solution may be neutral, acidic, or basic depending on the strengths of the acid and base.

James Chadwick bombarded beryllium with alpha particles and discovered:
A. Neutron
B. Electron
C. Proton
D. Positron

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Chadwick (1932) produced highly penetrating neutral radiation by bombarding Be with α-particles, identified as neutrons. Reaction: ⁹Be + ⁴He → ¹²C + ¹n.

Question #3
Ernest Rutherford is famous for his discovery of the:
A. Neutron
B. Proton and Nucleus
C. Atomic theory
D. Electron

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus through his gold foil alpha-scattering experiment in 1911. He later discovered the proton in 1919 by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, and Chadwick discovered the neutron.
