Q1Number of neutrons in ⁵⁶₂₆Fe will be

A 26
B 56
C 30
D 28
Explanation

In nuclide notation, the mass number equals protons plus neutrons, and the atomic number equals protons. For ⁵⁶₂₆Fe, neutrons = 56 - 26 = 30. Therefore, option C is correct.

Q2Which of the following element is chalcogen?

A At
B Pb
C Te
D Tl
Explanation

Chalcogens are Group 16 elements of the periodic table. Tellurium has the symbol Te and belongs to Group 16, while At, Pb and Tl do not belong to this group. Therefore, option C is correct.

Q3Antifertility drug is :

A aspartame
B soframicine
C novestrol
D prontosil
Explanation

Antifertility drugs are used as oral contraceptives, and ethynylestradiol, also called novestrol, is listed as a synthetic estrogen example in this group. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, soframicine is an antimicrobial preparation, and prontosil is a sulfa drug, so C is the correct answer.

Q4Select the option from the following sets (i to iv) which is not permissible for an electron in an atom - (i) n=2, l=1, m=0, s = + ½ (ii) n=3, l=3, m=-3, s= + ½ (iii) n=3, l=2, m=-2, s= 1 (iv) n=4, l=3, m=-2, s= + ½

A Only (ii)
B Only (i)
C (i) and (iv)
D (ii) and (iii)
Explanation

For an electron in an atom, l can have values from 0 to n−1, m can range from −l to +l, and the spin quantum number can only be +1/2 or −1/2. Set (ii) is impossible because n = 3 cannot have l = 3, and set (iii) is impossible because spin cannot be 1. Hence D is correct.

Q5For Z = PV/nRT, Z is known as :

A Probability factor
B Collision factor
C Compressibility factor
D Boyle point
Explanation

For real gases, Z = PV/nRT is called the compressibility factor. It measures deviation from ideal gas behaviour, for which Z equals 1 under ideal conditions. Therefore C is correct.
