There are six (6) protons in Carbon-12. The 12 refers to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. There are 6 of each in carbon-12. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element’s atomic number. The mass number of an element is the total of number of neutrons and number of protons.
Correct Option: A

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen and found in crude oil and natural gas. Hydrocarbons are formed from the remains of marine animals and plants that lived in shallow inland seas, died, and drifted to the bottom. The term petroleum is used as a common denotation for crude oil (mineral oil) and natural gas, i.e., the hydrocarbons from which various oil and gas products are made.
Correct Option: C

Milk contains a sugar called lactose, a disaccharide (compound sugar) made by the glycosidic bonding between glucose and glactose (monosaccharides). When milk is heated to a temperature of 30-40 degrees centigrade and a small amount of old curd added to it, the lactobacillus in that curd sample gets activated and multiplies. These convert the lactose into lactic acid, which imparts the sour taste to curd.

Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, in order to prevent rusting. The term is derived from the name of Italian scientist Luigi Galvani. Although galvanization can be done with electrochemical and electro-deposition processes, the most common method in current use is hot-dip galvanization, in which steel parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.

In the case of two electrons occupying the same orbital, the Pauli principle demands that they have opposite spin. The Pauli Exclusion Principle is the quantum mechanical principle that no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. A more rigorous statement is that the total wave function for two identical fermions is anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the particles.
