  • A. Relieving internal stress
  • B. Removing air bubbles
  • C. Eliminating impurities
  • D. Enhancing surface shine

Explanation: Annealing is a vital process in glass manufacturing aimed at relieving internal stresses that develop during cooling.

Correct answer: Relieving internal stress
  • A. Air bubbles
  • B. Impurities
  • C. Strain
  • D. Shining

Explanation: The process of annealing glass is done to reduce internal stresses or strain which could otherwise lead to cracking.

Correct answer: Strain
  • A. Covalent bonds
  • B. Ionic bonds
  • C. Metallic bonds
  • D. H-bonds

Explanation: Solid mercury, or simply mercury (Hg) in its solid state, is an example of a metal.

Correct answer: Metallic bonds
  • A. Crystal geometry
  • B. Crystal lattice
  • C. Crystal habit
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: The general shape of a crystal and the proportions of its bounding sides-such as elongate, tabular, bladed, or other-is known as its…

Correct answer: Crystal habit
  • A. Pure C6H22O6
  • B. Impure NaCl
  • C. Glass
  • D. Mixture of the above two

Explanation: Pure substances generally have sharp melting points. When a pure compound like glucose is heated, it undergoes a phase change from solid…

Correct answer: Pure C6H22O6
  • A. visible
  • B. infrated
  • C. X rays
  • D. ultraviolet

Explanation: To determine the structure of crystalline solids, the spacing between the atoms of crystal (i.e.

Correct answer: X rays
  • A. Amorphous solids
  • B. Glassy solids
  • C. Polymers
  • D. Crystals

Explanation: Crystals are characterized by a precise and repeating lattice structure that extends in all three spatial dimensions, resulting in a…

Correct answer: Crystals
  • A. Copper and diamond
  • B. Copper and glass
  • C. Copper and rubber
  • D. Diamond and glass

Explanation: Diamond is a crystal that is transparent to opaque and generally isotropic, native copper is a polycrystal. Therefore the answer will be A.

Correct answer: Copper and diamond
  • A. Allotropes
  • B. Polymorphous
  • C. Isomorphous
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Two or more substances having the same crystal structure called isomorphous.

Correct answer: Isomorphous
  • A. Gemstone
  • B. Calcium oxide
  • C. Graphite
  • D. Diamond

Explanation: When we talk about melting points, we're referring to the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.

Correct answer: Graphite
  • A. Graphite
  • B. Nacl crystals
  • C. Copper crystals
  • D. Ice

Explanation: Graphite has a unique structure made up of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern.

Correct answer: Graphite
  • A. Cubic
  • B. Orthrombic
  • C. Tetragonal
  • D. Rhombohedral

Explanation: Option D is correct.The crystal system that does not have β=γ=90° is rhombohedral.

Correct answer: Rhombohedral
  • A. PbCrO4
  • B. BaSO4
  • C. ZnO
  • D. NaOH

Explanation: The correct answer is Barium sulfate (BaSO₄), which crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system.

Correct answer: BaSO4
  • A. Anisotropy
  • B. Isomorphism
  • C. Polymorphism
  • D. Allotropy

Explanation: Allotropy refers to the ability of an element to exist in different physical forms, often with different crystal structures or molecular…

Correct answer: Allotropy
  • A. Cubic
  • B. Monoclinic
  • C. Orthorhombic
  • D. Triclinic

Explanation: In crystallography, the crystal system is determined by the lengths of the axes and the angles between them.

Correct answer: Triclinic
  • A. HCl
  • B. HF
  • C. H2O
  • D. CO2

Explanation: CO2 is the correct answer because even though it contains polar bonds between C and O, its linear molecular geometry results in the…

Correct answer: CO2
  • A. B....Cl
  • B. C....Cl
  • C. C....I
  • D. C....Br

Explanation: CI represents the bond between carbon (C) and iodine (I), which has the least electronegativity, resulting in the least polar bond.

Correct answer: C....I
  • A. Br
  • B. SiF
  • C. CaO
  • D. SeH2

Explanation: A covalent bond is not likely to exist in CaO. Calcium is a metal, and oxygen is a non-metal.

Correct answer: CaO
  • A. HF
  • B. HI
  • C. HCl
  • D. HBr

Explanation: To determine the polarity of diatomic molecules, we examine the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms.

Correct answer: HI
  • A. Electron mass is 1/87th of proton
  • B. Electron are universal particles of all matter
  • C. Electrons are produced in discharge
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: The constancy of the e/m ratio for electrons despite variations in the gas present in the discharge tube or in the material of the cathode…

Correct answer: Electron are universal particles of all matter
