Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

When an electron is projected in a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field, both pointing in the same direction as the electron's velocity, the following happens:

1. Electric field:

The electric field exerts a force on the electron in the direction of the field. Since the electron is negatively charged, it experiences a force opposite to the direction of the electric field. Therefore, the electric field does not affect the direction of the electron's motion.

2. Magnetic field:

The magnetic field exerts a force on the electron perpendicular to both the field direction and the electron's velocity. The force is given by the Lorentz force equation:

F = q(v x B)

where F is the force, q is the charge of the electron, v is its velocity, and B is the magnetic field.

In this case, the force is directed inward, towards the center of the circular path. The magnitude of the force is given by:

|F| = qvB

where |F| is the magnitude of the force.

Since the force is perpendicular to the velocity, it causes the electron to move in a circular path around the magnetic field lines. The radius of the path is given by:

r = mv/qB

where r is the radius of the path, m is the mass of the electron, and v is its velocity.

3. Combined effect:

Since the electric field does not affect the direction of the electron's motion, the only effect is due to the magnetic field. As the electron moves in a circular path, it loses kinetic energy due to the work done by the magnetic force. Therefore, its velocity decreases in magnitude.

Hence, the correct option is D- The electron velocity will decrease in magnitude.

The force acting on a charge q moving with velocityin a magnetic field is given by
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
The magnetic force on a free moving charge is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field with direction given by the right hand rule . The force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field.

A Charge is fired through a magnetic field. The magnetic force acting on it is maximum when the angle between the direction of motion and magnetic field is
  • a)
    π
  • b)
    zero
  • c)
    π/2
  • d)
    π/4
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The force will have a magnitude F=qvB sin q, thus it will be maximum if sin q is maximum. Thus, angle between velocity and magnetic field should be 90o or the charge particle moves perpendicular to the velocity vector.

When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, its kinetic energy always
  • a)
    remain constant
  • b)
    first increases then decreases.
  • c)
    decreases
  • d)
    increases
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Saxena answered
The magnetic field does no work, so the kinetic energy and speed of a charged particle in a magnetic field remain constant. The magnetic force, acting perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, will cause circular motion.

The correct statements among the following are
  • a)
    Bond lengths in O2 , are 121 , 134, 149 pm
  • b)
    Ozone is stronger oxidising agent than dioxygen
  • c)
    O2 acts as reducing agent when it reacts with powerful oxidising agents like PtF6
  • d)
    Ozone is much more stable than oxygen
Correct answer is option 'A,B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Srishti Kaur answered
The correct option is Option A, B and C.
Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order. O2+ has the highest bond order among these three, so it should have the shortest bond length.
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent as compared to oxygen. This is due to the unstable nature of ozone and the nascent oxygen that is released during the reaction.
O2 when gas makes others like H2 gas to lose electrons, therefore, O2 gas is an oxidizing agent and H2 when gas loses electrons in redox reaction, therefore H2 gas is a reducing agent.
Oxygen is more stable than ozone. On heating, ozone readily dissociates and forms oxygen and free radicals of oxygen known as nascent oxygen which take part in reaction, thus ozone is more reactive than oxygen

Which has lowest bond energy (single bond)?
  • a)
    O—H
  • b)
    O—O
  • c)
    S—H
  • d)
    S—S
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Bansal answered
Sulfur atoms are larger than oxygen atoms.

Pi bonds are formed by overlapping of two parallel p orbitals. The further the distance between atoms, the lesser the overlapping and weaker the bond.

But sigma bonds in case of Oxygen and Nitrogen are not strong enough because you are bringing two very small atoms (with large no. of electrons in the outer shell) too close which makes the sigma bond comparatively unstable than that of S-S bond where sigma bond is more stable due to lesser electro static repulsion of non-bonding electrons.

The correct order of thermal stability of the hydrides of group 16 elements is
  • a)
    H2Po> H2Fe> H2Se> H2S > H2
  • b)
    H2O<H2S>H2Se>H2Te>H2Po
  • c)
    H2O=H2S=H2Se-H2Te=H2Po
  • d)
    H2O>H2S>H2SE>H2Te>H2Po
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gauri Khanna answered


Thermal stability ∝ bond dissociation energy 
(where, E = group 16 elements)
On moving down the group, bond dissociation energy decreases due to increase in bond length. Thus, the order of bond dissociation energy or thermal stability is 
H2O > H2S > H2Se > H2Te > H2PO

Select the incorrect statement regarding DNA replication.
  • a)
    Leading strand is formed in 5'→3' direction
  • b)
    Okazaki fragments are formed in 5'→3' direction
  • c)
    DNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation in 5'→3' direction
  • d)
    DNA polymerase catalyses polymerisation in 3'→5' direction
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Priya Menon answered
Synthesis of DNA by DNA polymerases occurs only in 5'→3' direction. One strand called leading strand , is copied in the same direction as the unwinding helix. The other strand is known as lagging strand. Replication of lagging strand is in a dicontinuous way , and in the direction of growth of lagging stand is 3'→5' though in short segments of DNA which are always in the 5'→3' direction. These short segments are called Okazaki fragments joined together by the action od DNA ligase.

    Other than DNA polymerase, which of the following enzymes involved in DNA synthesis?
    • a)
      Topoisomerase
    • b)
      Helicase
    • c)
      RNA primase
    • d)
      All of these
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Vivek Patel answered
    Process of DNA synthesis whereby a parent DNA molecule is faithfully copied , giving rise to two identical daughter molecules id called DNA replication. In DNA synthesis, DNA polymerase plays an important role having the capability to elongate an existing DNA strand but cannot initiate the synthesis. So, the synthesis is initiated with the help of RNA primer formed by RNA primase. RNA primase synthesises the short RNA primer of about 10 nucleotides that is elongated by DNA polymerase to form an Okazaki fragment of DNA during DNA replication. Helicase unzips the two strands of DNA and toposiomerase reduces the coiling tension developed due to the unwinding of the two strands of DNA and topoisomerase reduces the coiling tension developed due to the unwinding of the two strands.

    Which of the following statements regarding ozone are correct?
    • a)
      Conversion of ozone to oxygen is endothermic
    • b)
      O—O bonds in ozone have considerable double bond character
    • c)
      Pure ozone is pale blue gas and dark blue liquid
    • d)
      Nitric oxide and freons are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer
    Correct answer is option 'B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Preethi Kaur answered
    Bonds in Ozone
    - Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms.
    - Each oxygen atom is connected to the adjacent atoms by a double bond.
    - The bonds in ozone have a considerable double bond character (option B is correct).
    - This means that the oxygen atoms are not fully bonded to each other like in a single bond, but instead, they share electrons more like a double bond.
    - The double bond character in ozone gives it unique properties and reactivity.

    Physical Properties of Ozone
    - Ozone is a pale blue gas (option C is correct) with a pungent odor.
    - It is heavier than air and can be condensed into a dark blue liquid.
    - At very low temperatures, ozone can solidify into a violet-black crystalline solid.
    - Ozone is highly reactive and can decompose into oxygen molecules and atomic oxygen.

    Ozone Conversion and Endothermicity
    - Ozone can be converted back to oxygen through a process called ozone decomposition or Ozone-Oxygen Conversion.
    - This process can occur spontaneously or can be induced by various factors such as heat, UV radiation, and certain catalysts.
    - Conversion of ozone to oxygen is an exothermic reaction, meaning it releases heat.
    - Conversely, the conversion of oxygen to ozone is an endothermic reaction, meaning it absorbs heat (option A is correct).
    - The endothermic nature of ozone formation is due to the need to break the double bonds in oxygen molecules and create new bonds in ozone.

    Depletion of Ozone Layer
    - Nitric oxide (NO) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer (option D is correct).
    - Nitric oxide is primarily released into the atmosphere through human activities, such as combustion processes and industrial emissions.
    - CFCs, commonly used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants, were found to be major contributors to ozone depletion.
    - When released into the atmosphere, CFCs can reach the stratosphere, where they are broken down by UV radiation, releasing chlorine atoms.
    - These chlorine atoms can then catalytically destroy ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.

    In summary, the correct statements regarding ozone are:
    - The bonds in ozone have considerable double bond character (option B is correct).
    - Ozone is a pale blue gas and dark blue liquid (option C is correct).
    - Nitric oxide and freons (CFCs) are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer (option D is correct).
