• A. Anisotropy
• B. Isomorphism
• C. Allotropy
• D. Polymorphism
• E. Option C and D

Explanation: Allotropy specifically refers to the existence of an element in two or more different structural forms when they are in the same physical…

• A. Diamond is the hardest and graphite is softest
• B. Graphite is the hardest while lamp black is softest
• C. Coal is the hardest and coke is softest
• D. Diamond is the hardest and coke is softest

Explanation: Graphite is soft because it has weak intermolecular forces between its layers.

• A. Graphene
• B. Graphite
• C. Diamond
• D. Mercury

Explanation: It is as light as a feather, more than 100 times stronger than steel and a lightning conductor of electricity.

• A. Covalent
• B. Ionic
• C. Molecular
• D. Metallic

Explanation: It has a single type of atom and we have discussed above that among similar atoms covalent bonding is seen.

• A. Graphite
• B. Graphene
• C. Mercury
• D. Diamond

Explanation: It is as light as a feather, more than 100 times stronger than steel and a lightning conductor of electricity.

• A. Sodium chloride
• B. Copper sulphate
• C. Mercury
• D. Aluminium

Explanation: Aluminium metal is both malleable and ductile

• A. Cubic system
• B. Triclinic system
• C. Tetragonal system
• D. Monoclinic system

Explanation: Option A: In the cubic crystal system, all three axes (a, b, c) have equal lengths, and all angles (α, β, γ) are 90 degrees.

• A. Remain fixed
• B. Slip past each other
• C. Rotate
• D. Twist

Explanation: Metals are malleable and ductile because their layers slip past each other on applying pressure.

• A. Critical
• B. Absolute
• C. Transition
• D. None of these

Explanation: The temperature at which two crystalline forms of the same substance coexist in equilibrium with each other.

• A. Size
• B. Capacity
• C. Habit
• D. Property

Explanation: As defined, habit is the shape of a crystal in which it usually grows. This is because crystals are usually obtained by cooling the…

• A. Diamond
• B. Sulphur
• C. Ice
• D. Zinc

Explanation: Diamond is a giant molecular compound with a network of strong covalent bonds between the regularly arranged carbon atoms.

• A. Neutral Excited
• B. Excited De-excited
• C. De-excited Excited
• D. None of these

Explanation: Option B is correct since when a photon arrives at the metal's surface, they are absorbed because there is an energy gap between orbitals…

• A. Critical
• B. Absolute
• C. Transition
• D. None of these options are correct

Explanation: The transition temperature is defined as the temperature at which two allotropic forms of a certain element coexist in dynamic equilibrium…

• A. Triclinic
• B. Tetragonal
• C. Cubic
• D. Rhombohedral

Explanation: The triclinic system is a crystal system of which the unit cell is a prism with crystallographic axes of different lengths (a b c) and of…
