Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are characteristic properties of transition elements? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Formation of colored compounds, Variable oxidation states, Catalytic properties, Paramagnetism

Transition elements show colored compounds due to d-d transitions, variable oxidation states due to similar energies of ns and (n-1)d orbitals, catalytic properties due to multiple oxidation states, and paramagnetism due to unpaired electrons. They are not highly reactive with water like alkali metals.

2multiple correct

Which of the following compounds are used as oxidizing agents? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

K₂Cr₂O₇ (Potassium dichromate), KMnO₄ (Potassium permanganate)

K₂Cr₂O₇ and KMnO₄ are strong oxidizing agents because they contain metals (Cr and Mn) in high oxidation states (+6 and +7 respectively) that can be easily reduced. FeSO₄ and CuSO₄ are not typically used as oxidizing agents.

3multiple choice

The magnetic moment of an ion with 3 unpaired electrons is approximately:

Show answer

3.87 BM

The magnetic moment is calculated using the spin-only formula: μ = √[n(n+2)] BM, where n is the number of unpaired electrons. For n=3: μ = √[3(3+2)] = √15 = 3.87 BM.

4multiple choice

Which series of elements constitutes the f-block?

Show answer

Lanthanoids and actinoids

The f-block consists of lanthanoids (4f series, Ce to Lu) and actinoids (5f series, Th to Lr). These elements have partially filled f-orbitals and are also called inner transition elements.
