Answer the question on the basis of passage given below :
Formaldehyde is the first member of the aldehydic series. It is present in green leaves of plants where its presence is supposed to be due to the reaction of \(CO_2\) with water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Commercially, formaldehyde is obtained by the controlled oxidation of methane in the presence of molybdenum oxide (\(MoO\)) acting as a catalyst. Formaldehyde is a constituent of a number of polymers also called resins. These are non volatile solids or semi solids which are obtained directly from certain plants and can be synthesized in the laboratory.
What is formalin ?
- A Formalin is 20\(\%\) aqueous solution of formaldehyde
- B Formalin is 10\(\%\) aqueous solution of formaldehyde
- C Formalin is 40\(\%\) aqueous solution of formaldehyde
- D Formalin is 35\(\%\) aqueous solution of formaldehyde

- Read the passage below and answer the question:
The accumulation of molecular species at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or liquid is termed as adsorption. There are two types of adsorption. In physisorption, attractive forces are mainly Van der Waals while in chemical adsorption adsorbate is held with chemical bonds adsorbent. Adsorption increases with increase in pressure and decreases as temperature is increased.

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
In the periodic table, the d-block contains the elements of group \(3\) to \(12\). The d-orbitals are progressively filled in each of the four long periods. The elements of d block referred as transition metals have partly filled d orbitals and exhibit certain characteristic properties such as variety of oxidation states, formation of coloured ions, act as catalyst and show paramagnetic behaviour.
The two inner transition metals series \(4f\) and \(5f\) are known as Lanthanoids and Actinoids respectively. The lanthanoids resemble one another more closely as compared to ordinary transition elements in any series.
For the four successive transition elements given below, the stability of +2 oxidation state will be:
A. \(\operatorname{Cr}( Z =24)\)
B. \(Mn ( Z =25)\)
C. \(Fe ( Z =26)\)
D. \(Co ( Z =27)\)
