Which polymer is used to make non-stick kitchen utensils?
A. Nylon
B. Polyethylene
C. Teflon
D. Polystyrene
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Teflon (PTFE) has a very low coefficient of friction and high heat resistance, making it ideal for non-stick coatings. Polystyrene is used in packaging, polyethylene in plastic bags, nylon in textiles and ropes. Teflon's monomer is tetrafluoroethene.

Question #1
The valency of carbon in CO₂ is:
A. 4
B. 2
C. 3
D. 1

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Carbon forms two double bonds with two oxygen atoms, sharing 4 electrons in total. Thus covalency = 4. Each oxygen has valency 2.

Question #2
Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its:
A. Temperature
B. Volume
C. Density
D. Mass

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boyle's law: PV = constant (at fixed T and n). So P ∝ 1/V. If volume is doubled, pressure halves. Charles' law relates V and T; Graham's law relates diffusion rate to molar mass.
