_________ is easily released from atoms by friction, heat, chemical reactions?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
ElectronElectrons are
easily released and transferred from one atom to another by friction-glass and
silk, wax and wool, heat-generating voltage by collision of bumpy metals,
chemical reactions-oxidation.

14
What are the atoms which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
IsotopeThe combination
of two nuclides is called isotope if they have same proton number-Z, but
different neutron (mass) number-N. Example: Carbon-12, Carbon-14.
15
Which side of a dry cell exposes negative electrode?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Carbon barA dry cell is
an electric battery comprises of zinc anode (cylindrical drum-acts as negative
electrode), a piece of carbon cathode (central rod-acts as positive electrode),
electrolyte (ammonium chloride in the form of paste) and the vacuum is filled
up with manganese dioxide.
16
Which is the lightest element?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
HydrogenHydrogen is the
lightest and simplest element on earth ever found. The atomic number and mass
number of hydrogen is the same.
17
Atoms are charge neutral because in atoms ____________ .
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
The number of electrons and protons is equalAtoms are electrically neutral
because they have
equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively
charged).
If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains
one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus
"anionic."

While burning a candle, some of the wax melts in the heat, what kind of change is it?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Physical changeA physical change involves a change in
physical properties, such as melting, transition to a gas and change of
strength. For burning candle, wax melts which is known as physical change. Also the wax near the flame burns and generates CO2, light
and heat which is a chemical change. Hence, burning of candle is a physical as
well as chemical change.
19
What kind of change happens when rice is boiled and turned into boiled rice?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Chemical changeA chemical change occurs when the substance's composition
is changed.
Cooking rice is a chemical change because during this process
changes in the chemical properties of rice occur and we get a new substance
that is cooked rice.
20
What happens in oxidation reactions?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Answer:
Electrons are ejectedOxidation
reaction is a chemical process. It is defined as a process that occurs when a
chemical species gains oxygen or loses hydrogen. In electronic terms loss of
electrons is called oxidation.
