MCQs On Water Or Hydride Of Oxygen

Water is the hydride of oxygen and should show a graded series of properties with the hydrides of the related elements, sulphur, selenium and tellurium, in the periodic table. Water is unremarkable and at the same time, exceptionally odd. Hydrogen Bonding Water (H₂O) is a hydride of oxygen in which the highly electronegative oxygen atom attracts the bonding electrons from two hydrogen atoms.

4. fluorine

Answer: (d)

2. The H-O-H bond angle in a water molecule is about

1. 90^o
2. 105^o
3. 135^o

4. mono hydrogen

Answer: (b)

4. Reaction of potassium with water is

1. hydrolysis
2. absorption
3. exothermic
4. Endothermic

Answer: (c)

5. Water softening by Clarke’s process uses

1. potash alum
2. calcium bicarbonate
3. calcium hydroxide
