Match each atomic model with its key defining feature or experimental foundation.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Thomson Model matches with electrons embedded in a positive sphere; Rutherford Model matches with the dense positive nucleus discovered via alpha particle scattering; Bohr Model matches with quantized non-radiating energy levels; Quantum Wave Model matches with standing matter waves in electron orbits.

Each atomic model corresponds directly to its historic milestone: Thomson proposed electrons scattered inside a uniform sphere of positive charge; Rutherford discovered the compact positive nucleus through alpha scattering experiments; Bohr introduced quantized stationary states to account for emission spectral lines; and the Quantum Wave Model integrated de Broglie matter wave harmonics into orbital mechanics.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify Thomson's Plum Pudding Model features

Describes electrons distributed inside a broad, uniform cloud/sphere of positive charge.

Formulated after J.J. Thomson discovered the electron before the nucleus was known.

Identify Rutherford's Nuclear Model features

Demonstrated that positive charge is concentrated in a tiny nucleus because alpha particles bounced back at large angles.

Geiger-Marsden alpha scattering experiment disproved the uniform charge distribution model.

Identify Bohr's Model features

Postulated quantized non-radiating stationary orbits where angular momentum is restricted to integral multiples of

h / 2\pi

Successfully explained the discrete wavelengths of the hydrogen emission spectrum.

Identify the Quantum Wave Model features

Explains quantization by treating orbiting electrons as de Broglie standing waves around the nucleus.

Orbits are stable only when an integral number of electron wavelengths fit along the orbital circumference.

Answer

The excerpt starting with 'I packed my woven bag...' matches First-person central point of view. The excerpt starting with 'Tunde paced around his office...' matches Third-person omniscient point of view. The excerpt beginning with 'Thoughts tumbled through her head...' matches Stream of consciousness technique. The excerpt starting with 'Dear Brother, I write this letter...' matches Epistolary narrative technique.

Each literary excerpt displays distinct linguistic markers matching its narrative device: 'I packed' uses first-person pronouns for central perspective; narrative omniscience reveals actions happening in two places at once; rapid internal thought associations characterize stream of consciousness; and direct letter correspondence defines the epistolary format.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the first excerpt for grammatical voice and perspective.

Identified the use of 'I', 'my', and personal emotion, signifying First-person central point of view.

First-person central narrative directly presents the protagonist's personal experiences.

Evaluate the second excerpt for narrative scope and knowledge.

The narrator knows Tunde's lack of awareness as well as Chief Adebayo's simultaneous actions elsewhere, establishing Third-person omniscient perspective.

Omniscience allows an all-knowing narrator to report simultaneous events in different settings.

Examine the stylistic structure of the third excerpt.

The rapid, unstructured presentation of internal worries reflects the Stream of consciousness technique.

Stream of consciousness mimics continuous mental flux and impressionistic thought flow.

Identify the genre format of the fourth excerpt.

The salutation 'Dear Brother' and reference to a courier indicate an Epistolary narrative technique.

Epistolary style advances plot and character development through written correspondence.

Question 1063Question →

Match each electrical quantity or operational scenario on the left with its corresponding mathematical expression on the right.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Electrical power in terms of current and resistance corresponds to

I^2 R

. Electrical energy consumed across voltage

V

for time

t

corresponds to

\frac{V^2 t}{R}

. Rate of heat generation in terms of voltage and current corresponds to

V I

. Total electric charge transformed corresponds to

\frac{E}{V}

Each item is matched by applying the fundamental relationships of electrical energy (

E = V I t = I^2 R t = \frac{V^2 t}{R} = Q V

) and electrical power (

P = \frac{E}{t} = V I = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the first scenario (power with current and resistance)

Power formula derived from Ohm's law (

V = IR

) into

P = VI

gives

P = (IR)I = I^2 R

Relates current and resistance directly to power dissipation.

Analyze the second scenario (energy with voltage, resistance, and time)

Energy

E = P t

. Using

P = \frac{V^2}{R}

, energy becomes

E = \frac{V^2 t}{R}

Expresses energy consumption using voltage and resistance over a given time duration.

Analyze the third scenario (rate of heat generation with voltage and current)

Rate of heat generation is power

P = V I

Direct definition of electrical power as energy converted per unit time.

Analyze the fourth scenario (charge transferred from energy and voltage)

Since potential difference is energy per unit charge (

V = \frac{E}{Q}

), rearranging gives

Q = \frac{E}{V}

Relates fundamental definitions of potential difference, energy, and charge.

Match each distillation apparatus component or process listed on the left with its correct function or application on the right.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Fractionating column matches with providing a large surface area for continuous condensation/vaporisation; Liebig condenser matches with cooling hot vapor using circulating cold water; Simple distillation matches with separating liquids with widely different boiling points; Fractional distillation matches with separating miscible liquids with close boiling points.

Each item is correctly matched based on standard laboratory separation techniques: the fractionating column increases efficiency for close boiling point mixtures by providing surface area, the Liebig condenser turns vapor to liquid distillate, simple distillation separates substances with large boiling point differences, and fractional distillation resolves mixtures of miscible liquids with close boiling points.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the primary role of structural apparatus components

The fractionating column provides surface area for multiple equilibrium stages, while the Liebig condenser serves purely to condense vapor into liquid distillate.

Apparatus functions are based on physical design principles of distillation setups.

Differentiate between simple and fractional distillation based on boiling point criteria

Simple distillation is suitable for large boiling point differences (

>50^\circ\text{C}

), whereas fractional distillation is required for close boiling points (

<25^\circ\text{C}

Close boiling points require repeated vaporisation-condensation steps achieved only via a fractionating column.

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Credit Multiplier matches with the reciprocal of statutory cash reserves; Cash Reserve Ratio matches with the mandatory percentage of deposits kept unlent as cash; Liquidity Ratio matches with the statutory proportion of deposits held in near-money assets; Special Deposit matches with the compulsory reserve freeze impounded by the central bank.

The items accurately match their mechanisms: Credit Multiplier represents deposit expansion potential through the inverse reserve ratio; Cash Reserve Ratio mandates minimum idle cash holdings; Liquidity Ratio mandates short-term liquid asset reserves for operational solvency; Special Deposit functions as an emergency monetary policy tool to absorb excess bank liquidity.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the deposit expansion multiplier definition

Credit Multiplier is the inverse of the Cash Reserve Ratio (

K = \frac{1}{\text{CRR}}

It measures systemic secondary credit expansion across the banking network based on cash reserve requirements.

Distinguish between reserve requirements and liquidity requirements

Cash Reserve Ratio targets unlent vault/central bank cash, while Liquidity Ratio covers liquid securities such as Treasury bills.

CRR restricts base lending reserves, whereas liquidity ratios preserve daily solvency.

Identify intervention mechanisms for credit control

Special Deposits directly isolate excess liquidity held by commercial banks.

The monetary authority impounds these funds when conventional reserve ratios fail to curb inflationary credit creation.

Match each foreign trade term or balance of payments item on the left with its appropriate definition or economic transaction on the right.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Visible Export matches Foreign currency earnings received from selling agricultural produce; Invisible Import matches Payment made to a foreign airline for passenger transport services; Capital Account Entry matches Inflow of long-term foreign direct investment; Balance of Trade Deficit matches A situation where the value of merchandise imported exceeds the value of merchandise exported.

Visible exports refer to tangible physical goods sold abroad, invisible imports refer to payments made for foreign services, capital account entries record investments and cross-border monetary loans, and a Balance of Trade deficit measures the excess of physical goods imported over physical goods exported.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify tangible versus intangible trade transactions.

Agricultural produce is tangible (visible export), while airline passenger transportation is a service (invisible import).

Visible trade involves physical merchandise, whereas invisible trade involves services.

Distinguish between current trade transactions and capital flows.

Foreign direct investment is a capital inflow recorded in the capital/financial account, while merchandise trade balances belong to the visible trade balance.

Capital accounts track asset movements and investments rather than payments for current goods and services.

Define the monetary balance of physical merchandise.

When visible imports exceed visible exports, it yields a Balance of Trade deficit.

Balance of Trade deals exclusively with visible (physical) trade items.
