Which of the following is correct?
(A) a = 7
(B)b = 8
(C) Atomic number of I is 14.
(D) I and II are isotopes of the same element.

2. Which of the following is the correct order of the decreasing ionic radius for Na+, Mg2+, O2-, and F-?
(A) Na+>Mg2+> F->O2-
(B) Mg2+> Na+> O2->F-
(C) O2->F-> Na+> Mg2+
(D) F-> O2-> Mg2+> Na+

3. Which of the following molecules has a non-zero dipole moment?
(A) CO2
(B) CCl4
(C) C2H2
(D) H2Se

4. The reaction rate is the change in concentration of a reactant or product with time, the unit of which is M/s. When the reaction rate depends on then-th power to the concentration of a reactant, [R] – wherek is the rate constant, it is called an n-th order reaction. The following graph shows [R] as a function of time for the chemical reaction R ? P. (P denotes the product). M = moles/litre Which of the following is correct for both n and the unit of k for the reaction R ? P?
(A) 0, 1/s
(B) 0, M/s
(C) 1, 1/s
(D) 1, M/s

5. A gaseous hydrocarbon X has a density of 1.25 g/L at0 ?C and under 1 atm. What is the mass fraction of carbon in X? (The atomic masses of carbon and hydrogen are 12.0 and 1.00 g/mol, respectively, and 1.00 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at0 ?C and under 1 atm.)
(A) 75.0 %
(B) 80.0 %
(C) 85.7 %
(D) 92.3 %

6. What is the electron configuration for the most stable ion of aluminum?
(A) 1s22s22p63s2
(B) 1s22s22p6
(C) 1s22s22p53s1
(D) 1s22s22p63p2

7. The standard enthalpy of formation ( )of a substance is the enthalpy change during a process, where the substance is formed from the most stable forms of the constituent elements at 1 atm.The following figure is the enthalpy diagram of N-, or O-containing compounds. ’s are the standard enthalpy changes for the corresponding processes at 25oC.
