Question #1
Modern periodic law states that properties of elements are periodic functions of their:
A. Atomic numbers
B. Number of isotopes
C. Mass numbers
D. Atomic masses

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Modern periodic law: The physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This was established by Moseley. Mendeleev's periodic law was based on atomic masses. Atomic number (Z) determines electronic configuration, which determines chemical behavior. Mass numbers vary with isotopes.

Question #2
The main constituent of biogas is:
A. Ethane
B. Hydrogen
C. Methane
D. Nitrogen

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Biogas is produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter (cow dung, agricultural waste) and typically contains 50-70% methane (CH₄), 30-40% CO₂, and traces of H₂S, NH₃, and H₂. Methane provides the fuel value. Biogas is a renewable fuel used for cooking and electricity generation. The slurry is good manure.

Question #3
Which reaction type is: 2AgBr(s) → 2Ag(s) + Br₂(g)?
A. Displacement reaction
B. Neutralization reaction
C. Combination reaction
D. Decomposition reaction

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Silver bromide decomposes into silver and bromine on exposure to light. This is a photochemical decomposition reaction, where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. It is also a redox reaction (Ag⁺ reduced, Br⁻ oxidized). Photographic films use this property. Combination would be A + B → AB. Displacement is A + BC → AC + B. Neutralization is acid + base → salt + water.
