  • A. Os
  • B. Mn
  • C. Fe
  • D. Po

Explanation: Osmium (Os) is a transition metal belonging to Group 8 (VIII B) of the periodic table and has an atomic number of 76.

Correct answer: Os
  • A. Metals have free electrons in the valence shell
  • B. The electrical conductivity of metals increases with the increase in temperature
  • C. Metalloids are poor conductors of electricity
  • D. Non-metals have atomic conductance usually less than 10-10 ohm-1

Explanation: Statement B is incorrect because the electrical conductivity of metals decreases with an increase in temperature, not increases.

Correct answer: The electrical conductivity of metals increases with the increase in temperature
  • A. +2
  • B. +1
  • C. +3
  • D. 0

Explanation: in general, the most common oxidation state of selenium is +2. This is because selenium has six valence electrons and can gain two…

  • B. [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2
  • C. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl
  • D. [Co(NH3)5.H2O]Cl3

Explanation: This compound has only one ionisable Cl- out of the given three.[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl <-> [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ + Cl-It also exhibits cis-trans isotherm.

Correct answer: [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl
  • A. +7
  • B. -7
  • C. +6
  • D. -6

Explanation: Let x be the oxidation number of Mn. Now, we can set up an equation based on the sum of oxidation numbers: x+(−8)=−2.

Correct answer: +6

  • A. H3PO3 is dibasic and reducing
  • B. H3PO3 is tribasic and reducing
  • C. H3PO3 is tribasic and non-reducing
  • D. H3PO3 is dibasic and non-reducing

Explanation: In the structure of H3PO3, two -OH groups are present, so it is dibasic acid.

Correct answer: H3PO3 is dibasic and reducing
  • A. pH = pKa + log[ Acid/Base ]
  • B. pH = pKa - log[ Acid/Base ]
  • C. pH = pKa - log[ Base/Acid ]
  • D. pH = pKa + log[ Base]

Explanation: The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates pKa and pH. However, it is only an approximation and should not be used for concentrated…

Correct answer: pH = pKa - log[ Acid/Base ]
  • A. NH4+
  • B. NH
  • C. NH2
  • D. NH2-
  • E. NH3

Explanation: NH₄⁺: This is the conjugated acid of NH₃ (ammonia). When NH₃ accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms NH₄⁺.
