BPSC General Posts (Balochistan) Everyday Science: Chemistry MCQs — sample questions

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The most abundant element in the Earth's crust is:

    • A) Silicon
    • B) Oxygen
    • C) Aluminium
    • D) Calcium

    Answer: Oxygen

    Explanation: Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust by mass, making up about 46% of crustal weight, primarily in the form of oxides and silicates.

  2. Question 2

    Q2. Which of the following is an organic molecule needed by the body in small amounts?

    • A) Protein
    • B) Vitamin C
    • C) Zinc
    • D) Monosaccharide

    Answer: Vitamin C

    Explanation: Vitamins are organic micronutrients required in small amounts for normal metabolic function; Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a classic example of such an organic molecule.

  3. Question 3

    Q3. Existence of an element in more than one form in the same physical state is called:

    • A) Allotropy
    • B) Pleiotropy
    • C) Heterotrophy
    • D) None of these

    Answer: Allotropy

    Explanation: Allotropy is the scientifically accurate choice. The concept tested here is core everyday science for MDCAT, ECAT, and general ability papers.

  4. Question 4

    Q4. What is the subatomic particle detected for the first time in 2015 by the European Organization for Nuclear Research?

    • A) Kaons K
    • B) Pentaquark
    • C) Neutrinos
    • D) Higgs boson

    Answer: Pentaquark

    Explanation: In July 2015, CERN's LHCb experiment announced the discovery of pentaquarks - exotic hadrons composed of five quarks - not previously observed as a stable particle state.

  5. Question 5

    Q5. Which of the following elements is not present abundantly in the Earth's crust?

    • A) Silicon
    • B) Radium
    • C) Aluminum
    • D) Carbon

    Answer: Radium

    Explanation: Radium is an extremely rare radioactive element with a crustal abundance of only about 1 part per trillion, far less abundant than silicon, aluminum, or carbon.
