Total Questions: 50

1. Metals have_. [S.S.C. Online MTS (T-1) 4.10.2017]

Correct Answer: (a) High melting and boiling point
Note:

Metals generally have a high melting point and high boiling point. This is due to the strong attraction between metallic bonds, because these positive metallic ions are very tightly bound between large amounts of free electrons.

 

2. Metals are generally_ [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-1) 7.03.2018 ]

1. Ductile

 

II. Malleable

 

III. Poor conductors of heat

 

Correct Answer: (a) Only I and II
Note:

Metal are generally ductile, malleable and good conductor of heat and electricity. Ductility is a property where a substance can be drawn into thin wires. Metals are malleable because they consist of layers of atoms. These layers can slide over one another when the metal is bent, hammered or pressed.

 

3. Which of the following metals is the most ductile? [SSC Online Constable GD 12.02.2019]

Correct Answer: (c) Gold
Note:

Generally, malleability (soft) and ductile properties are found in all metals, and gold (Au) is the most ductile among the given metals. Mercury (Hg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) do not possess the malleable and ductile properties of metals, these being exceptions.

 

4. Which of the following metals is the most ductile metal? [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-1) 6.06.2019]

Correct Answer: (c) Gold
Note:

Generally, malleability (soft) and ductile properties are found in all metals, and gold (Au) is the most ductile among the given metals. Mercury (Hg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) do not possess the malleable and ductile properties of metals, these being exceptions.

 

5. What is the symbol of gold? [S.S.C. Online MTS (T-1) 6.08.2019]

Correct Answer: (d) Au
Note:

Generally, malleability (soft) and ductile properties are found in all metals, and gold (Au) is the most ductile among the given metals. Mercury (Hg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) do not possess the malleable and ductile properties of metals, these being exceptions.

 

6. What is the molecular formula of gold? [SSC Online Constable GD 12.02.2019]

Correct Answer: (c) Au
Note:

Generally, malleability (soft) and ductile properties are found in all metals, and gold (Au) is the most ductile among the given metals. Mercury (Hg), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) do not possess the malleable and ductile properties of metals, these being exceptions.

 

7. Metallurgy is the process of [S.S.C. Online MTS (T-1) 4.10.2017]

Correct Answer: (a) Extracting metals from Ore
Note:

Metallurgy is defined as a process that is used for the extraction of metals in their pure form. There are various steps in the process of metallurgy, such as crushing and leaching ore into complete or small picces.

8. Metals generally form_ [S.S.C. Online MTS (T-1) 5.10.2017]

Correct Answer: (a) Basic oxides
Note:

Metals generally form basic oxides. For example, the oxides of sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg) are of basic nature, Na, O, and MgO respectively.

 

9. Which of the following liquids can dissolve noble metals such as gold and platinum? [S.S.C. Online CPO SI (T-1) 10.11.2022]

Correct Answer: (b) Aqua regia
Note:

The correct answer is Aqua regia. It is a highly corro- sive mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids, and it is one of the few substances that can dis solve noble metals such as gold and platinum. For- mic acid, acetic acid, and chloroform are not capable of dissolving noble metals like gold and platinum.

 

10. Which of the following is rot a donor atom? [SS.C. Online Graduate Level (T-1) 3.09.2016]

Correct Answer: (d) Aluminium
Note:

In semiconductors, a donor atom is one that, when mixed with a semiconductor, forms an n-type semiconductor. For example, when silicon (Si), which has four valence electrons, mixes with elements from the fifth group of the periodic table, phosphorous (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), which has five valence electrons, then by this combination, one electron is left after the completion of the octet, while the electron helps in the flow of negative charge in the semiconductor, which leads to the formation of n types of semiconductors. In semiconductors, an acceptor atom is one, after which the semiconductor is mixed to form a p-type semiconductor. For example, when elements from the third group of the periodic table, boron (B) or aluminium, which have three covalent electrons, are added to silicon, which has four covalent electrons, the octet is not completed by this combination. An electron is required for which a hole is left vacant, which is positively charged, forming a P-type semiconductor. Therefore, phosphorus, antimony, and arsenic are atom donors, while aluminium is an electron acceptor.
