Question

Talcum powder has a slippery touch.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in semester exam.

This question is from p-Block Elements in chapter p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

To explain I would say: Talc consists of planar sheets which can slip over one another due to the weak forces of attraction and it is a constituent of talcum powder. That’s the reason why talcum powder has a slippery touch, So the above statement can be considered to be true.
