MCQ practice · SSC Chemistry Board questions · Chapter 1: Concepts of Chemistry
What is the third step in the process of investigation and research in chemistry?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Gaining some idea about the topic
- b Deciding the method of the experiment
- c Collecting and analysing data
- d Discussing the result
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b Deciding the method of the experiment
Step 3 is deciding the materials, apparatus and method of the experiment.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Gaining some idea about the topic: That is step 2, reading books or earlier papers. Step 3 fixes the materials and the method.
- c Collecting and analysing data: That is step 5; it comes after the experiment.
- d Discussing the result: The result and its discussion come in the last (sixth) step, after the data is analysed.
