Chemical Bonding GK Practice Quiz Level 3: Redox, Corrosion and Photolysis
Learners at the final revision stage of chemistry GK will gain most from this set. The Level 3 Chemical Bonding and Reactions quiz on Aptitude360 covers ionic and covalent compounds, redox, corrosion, rancidity and the decomposition of silver chloride in sunlight. It uses multi-statement, matching and sequencing questions.
Areas examined in the Level 3 bonding set
- Why ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution
- Melting points of methane compared with sodium chloride
- Classifying reactions as combination, decomposition, displacement or double displacement
- Redox concepts, including oxidation as loss of hydrogen
- Corrosion of iron and copper, and rancidity with its prevention
- Silver chloride in sunlight and its use in black and white photography
- Sequencing whitewashing steps and ionic compound formation
Concepts that trip students at this level
- Respiration is exothermic, while decomposition reactions are generally endothermic
- Sublimation is a physical change, not a chemical one
- In the iron nail experiment the solution turns lighter, and it is single displacement, not an exchange of ions
- Corrosion is not limited to iron; copper also forms a surface coating
Revision advice for advanced reaction questions
- Judge each statement as true or false on its own before comparing options
- Keep a reactants and products table for whitewashing and double displacement
- Learn oxidation and reduction in both oxygen and hydrogen terms
