Electronic configuration of the outer shell of the element Gd with atomic number 64 is
(A) 4f4 5df 6s1
(B) 4f3 5df 6s2
(C) 4f5 5d4 6s1
(D) 4f7 5d1 6s2

What is the anti-particle of electrons?
(A) Positron
(B) Proton
(C) Alpha-Particle
(D) Beta-Patakal
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
The positron is the antiparticle to the electron. The positron has the same rest mass (m0) as the electron but opposite charge, one positive elementary charge. In condensed matter, each positron annihilates with an electron yielding γ-rays in a very short time (10−10–10−9 s).
Who is the discoverer of hydrogen?
(A) Priestley
(B) Cavendish
(C) Ure
(D) Levizer
Correct Answer : B
Which of the following is incorrect with reference to hypophysis?
(A) It lies a bony depression called sell turcica
(B) Connected to hypothalamus through infundibulum
(C) Anatomically divided into adeno-hypophysis and neurohypophysis
(D) Neurohypophysis synthesizes ADH and OT
Correct Answer : D
