NEET Practice: Chemistry 3

1. The atomic number of an element with electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 12

Explanation:
Total electrons = 12 → Magnesium (Z=12)
2. The number of moles of NaOH in 40 g is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (a) 1 mole

Explanation:
Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol → 40 g = 1 mole
3. The pOH of 0.001 M NaOH solution is:

Show Answer & Explanation

Correct Answer: (a) 3

Explanation: [OH⁻] = 0.001 M = 10⁻³ M, so pOH = –log(10⁻³) = 3.

4. The hybridisation of nitrogen in NH₃ is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) sp³

Explanation:

Correct Answer: (a) Propanal

Explanation:
Aldehyde with 3 carbons
6. The number of sigma bonds in benzene (C₆H₆) is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 12

Explanation:
6 C-H + 6 C-C sigma bonds
7. The molarity of 36.5 g HCl in 1 litre solution is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (a) 1 M

Explanation:
Molar mass HCl = 36.5 g/mol → 1 mole in 1 L = 1 M
