D ) Starch

Explanation:

Q: Solutions can be used as electrolytes — Which ones?

✅ NaCl
➡️ Solutions that conduct electricity due to the presence of ions

📘 Explanation for Exams:

Electrolytes are solutions that conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.

Electrolytes are substances that, when dissolved in water, produce ions and allow the solution to conduct electricity.

🔋 Examples of Solutions That Can Be Used as Electrolytes:

Type Examples
  Acids  ( HCl, H₂SO₄ )
  Bases  (NaOH, KOH)
  Salts  ( NaCl, KNO₃, CaCl₂)
  Ionic compounds (Any soluble salt that dissociates)

Non-Electrolyte Solutions:

  • 🔋 Do not conduct electricity
  • Examples: Sugar, Alcohol, Distilled water.

16 - Which of the following is an example of non metal?

A ) Oxygen ✅
B ) Copper
C ) Iron
D ) Sodium

17 - The bond form between two atom by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons is called:

A ) Ionic bond
B ) Covalent bond ✅
C ) Metallic Bond
D ) Hydrogen bond

18 - Which of the following is the most common type of inorganic molecules?

A ) Covalent bond ✅
B ) Ionic bond
C ) Metallic Bond
D ) None of these

19 - Which of the following metal is a noble gas?

A ) Neon ✅
B ) Oxygen
C ) Chlorine
D ) Nitrogen

Explanation:

Noble Gas:

A noble gas is a chemical element in Group 18 (also called Group VIII-A) of the Periodic Table. Noble gases are colorless, odorless, tasteless, and nonreactive under normal conditions.

They are called noble gases because they are inert (non-reactive) under normal conditions.

📘 Noble Gases List (Group 18 of Periodic Table):

  1. Helium (He)(2Atomic Number ) 
  2. Neon (Ne) (10Atomic Number ) 
  3. Argon (Ar)(18 Atomic Number ) 
  4. Krypton (Kr)(36 Atomic Number )  
  5. Xenon (Xe) (54 Atomic Number ) 
  6. Radon (Rn) (86 Atomic Number ) 
  7. Oganesson (Og) (radioactive and synthetic) . (118 Atomic Number )
