Sample Questions
Which of the following properties are characteristic of transition metals? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
High melting points, Colored compounds, Catalytic activity
Transition metals have high melting points due to metallic bonding, form colored compounds due to d-d transitions, and show catalytic activity due to variable oxidation states. They are good electrical conductors.
In the extraction of iron from hematite ore, limestone acts as:
Show answer
Flux
Limestone (CaCO₃) decomposes to CaO which combines with silica gangue to form calcium silicate slag, thus acting as flux to remove impurities.
Which of the following ions is diamagnetic?
Show answer
Sc³⁺
Sc³⁺ has electronic configuration [Ar] 3d⁰ with no unpaired electrons, making it diamagnetic. All other ions have unpaired electrons and are paramagnetic.
