Which one of the following is an ore of silver?
A
Argentite
B
Stibnite
C
Haematite
D
Bauxite
Answer :
Argentite
The argentite or silver glance is $$A{g_2}S,$$ it is an ore of silver. Haematite $$F{e_2}{O_3}$$ is ore of iron, bauxite is ore of aluminium whereas stibnite $$S{b_2}{S_3}$$ sometimes stibnite called antimonite is an ore of antimony.

Identify the incorrect statement among the following :
A
$$4f$$ and $$5f$$ orbitals are equally shielded.
B
$$d$$ - Block elements show irregular and erratic chemical properties among themselves.
C
$$La$$ and $$Lu$$ have partially filled $$d$$ - orbitals and no other partially filled orbitals.
D
The chemistry of various lanthanoids is very similar.
Answer :
$$4f$$ and $$5f$$ orbitals are equally shielded.
$$4f$$ orbital is nearer to nucleus as compared to $$5f$$ orbital therefore, shielding of $$4f$$ is more than $$5f.$$
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
144.
Which of the following lanthanoids is commonly used?
A
Lanthanum
B
Nobelium
C
Thorium
D
Cerium
Answer :
Cerium
$$Ce$$ is most commonly used lanthanide, nobelium $$(No)$$ and $$Th$$ (thorium) are actinides.
145.
On addition of small amount of $$KMn{O_4}$$ to concentrated $${H_2}S{O_4},$$ a green oily compound is obtained which is highly explosive in nature. Identify the compound from the following.
149.
Which of the following statements is not correct?
A
Copper liberates hydrogen from acids.
B
In higher oxidation states, manganese forms stable compounds with oxygen and fluorine.
C
$$M{n^{3 + }}$$ and $$C{o^{3 + }}$$ are oxidising agents in aqueous solution.
D
$$T{i^{2 + }}$$ and $$C{r^{2 + }}$$ are reducing agents in aqueous solution.
Answer :
Copper liberates hydrogen from acids.
Positive $${E^ \circ }$$ value of copper accounts for its inability to liberate $${H_2}$$ from acids.
150.
Actinides
A
are all synthetic elements
B
include element 104
C
have any short lived isotopes
D
have variable valency
Answer :
have variable valency
All actinides show different oxidation states such as +2 +3 +4 +5 and +7. However, +3 oxidation state is most common among all the actinides. The wide range of oxidation states of actinides is attributed to the fact that the $$5f, 6d$$ and $$7s$$ energy levels are of comparable energies. Therefore, all these three sub-shells can participate.
