Answers
★Question(1) :
Properties of substances W , X , Y , and Z are listed below
Then W , X , Y & Z are ,
a) Iron, iodine, hydrogen and oxygen
b) Gold, sulphur, chlorine and hydrogen
c) Copper, phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon
d) Mercury, bromine, oxygen and graphite.
★Answer(1) :
W : Mercury is the metal which is liquid at room temperature.
X : Bromine is the liquid Non metal at room temperature
Y : Oxygen is one of the example for gaseous non metals
Z : Graphite is a non metal which conducts electricity
The correct order is ,
Mercury , Bromine , Oxygen , Graphite .
Hence , Option(d) is the required answer.
★Question(2) :
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
a) Gold and silver are the most malleable and ductile metals.
b) All metals are hard and strong.
c) Mercury and gallium are metals which exist in liquid state at room temperature.
d) Most of the metals have high specific gravities.
★Answer(2) :
a] Gold and silver are the most malleable and ductile metals
True . Gold and silver are highly malleable and ductile in nature
∴ Option(a) is true
b] All metals ae hard and strong
There are some exceptional cases like sodium and potassium (which can be easily cut using a knife)
∴ Option(b) is incorrect
c] Mercury and gallium are metalsbwhich exsist in liquid state at room temperature
True.
d] Most of the metals have high specific gravities
True . Examples of some metals with high specific gravities are Lead ( Lead has the highest specific gravity)
So , Options(a) , Option(c) and Option(d) are correct
We are asked to find the incorrect option.
Hence , Option(b) is the required option
