In methane, the valency of carbon is:
  • a)
    four
  • b)
    two
  • c)
    one
  • d)
    three
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vp Classes answered
Methane has its molecular formula CH4.
It is formed by one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. 
Hydrogen has its valency 1 and carbon being tetravalent needs four valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration, where it shares its 4 electrons with four hydrogen atoms.
Therefore, the valency of carbon atom in Methane (CH4) is 4.

Which of the following is a non-polar molecule?​
  • a)
    O2
  • b)
    HF
  • c)
    NH3
  • d)
    H2O
Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

When 2 molecules of different electronegativity are bonded together covalently the bonding electron cloud is more attracted towards atom with higher electronegativity. ... So, the bond between 2 Oxygen atom is non-polar . Since, it is the only bonding in oxygen molecule Oxygen molecule is non-polar

Most of covalent compounds are found in
  • a)
    solid state

    both in liquid and gaseous state
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya Das answered
Compounds having lesser number of carbon atoms are gases like CH4, C4H10 and some are liquids. Compounds having greater number of carbon atoms are solids.

The bond which is formed by sharing of an electron pair between two atoms is known as:
  • a)
    Ionic bond
  • b)
    Covalent bond
  • c)
    Dative bond
  • d)
    Metallic bond
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajiv Gupta answered
A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

Sumitra singh answered
Correct Match: Jyotiba Phule - Gulamgiri (1871)
Jyotiba Phule was a prominent social reformer and activist in 19th-century India. He is best known for his efforts to improve the plight of the lower castes and women in society.
About "Gulamgiri" (1871)
- Publication: "Gulamgiri," meaning "Slavery," was published in 1871.
- Theme: The book focuses on the injustices faced by the lower castes and critiques the caste system prevalent in Indian society.
- Impact: It aimed to raise awareness about the plight of oppressed communities and inspired social reform movements.
Other Options Explained
- B.R. Ambedkar - Sacchi Kavitay: This is incorrect as "Sacchi Kavitay" is not associated with Ambedkar. He is known for works like "Annihilation of Caste."
- E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker - Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal: This is also incorrect. E.V. Ramaswamy, known as Periyar, wrote extensively on social issues but "Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal" is not his work.
- Sudarshan Chakr - Gulamgiri (1871): This is incorrect since Sudarshan Chakr is not linked to the publication of "Gulamgiri." Jyotiba Phule is the rightful author.
Conclusion
Thus, option A is the only correct answer, highlighting Jyotiba Phule's significant contribution to social reform through his influential work "Gulamgiri."
