Molecular orbital theory explains the magnetic properties of molecules, including paramagnetism and diamagnetism.

The inductive effect is generally weaker than the mesomeric effect.

The inductive effect does not involve the delocalization of pi electrons; that is characteristic of the mesomeric effect.

Not all molecular orbitals are degenerate; some can have different energy levels.

The sum of two multiples of 3 is always a multiple of 3, as multiples of a number are closed under addition.

All statements are true; multiples can be negative, can be equal to the number, and are always integers.

The premises do not provide information about all flowers, so it is valid to conclude that some flowers do not fade quickly.

The author argues that effective selections require a balance of intuition and analysis, suggesting a thoughtful approach to decision-making.

The passage suggests that while change is important, it should be approached gradually, aligning with option B.

The passage outlines various factors contributing to economic inequality, suggesting its complexity.

The passage suggests that the author advocates for gradual change, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration.

Increased consumer spending typically stimulates the economy, making it the odd one out as a cause of recession.

The first law states that energy is conserved, and heat cannot spontaneously flow from cold to hot without work being done.

The passage does not claim that all cultures are equally valuable, making option 2 unsupported.

The mixed graph does not indicate any clear seasonal pattern, as sales fluctuate throughout the year.

The passage supports the idea that technology can facilitate personalized learning experiences, allowing students to learn at their own pace.

A buffer solution resists changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of acid or base.

A diverging lens causes parallel rays to diverge, making it impossible to focus light to a point.

A galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy spontaneously.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not.

At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, not necessarily the concentrations.

A Wheatstone bridge can be used to measure both AC and DC resistances.

Adsorption isotherms illustrate how the amount of adsorbate on a solid surface varies with pressure at a constant temperature.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon as it occurs at the interface between phases.

Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones due to the presence of the hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl carbon.

Alkali metals are good conductors of electricity due to the presence of free-moving electrons.

Alkenes are characterized by the presence of at least one double bond between carbon atoms.

Alkynes are more acidic than alkenes due to the sp hybridization of the carbon atoms.

An exothermic reaction releases heat, resulting in a negative enthalpy change.

An ideal gas is defined as a gas that has no intermolecular forces and follows the ideal gas law under all conditions.
