Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Hint:

Logic Tip: Pb = Lead. Na = Sodium. Mg = Magnesium. Mn = Manganese. Pay close attention to Mg vs. Mn.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Understanding the standard periodic table symbols used in ceramic glaze formulation and chemistry.

Step 1:
Pb is the chemical symbol for Lead (from the Latin plumbum). In ceramics, it acts as a powerful low-fire flux. (A-IV)

Step 2:
Na is the chemical symbol for Sodium (from the Latin natrium). It is a primary alkaline flux used in glazes. (B-III)

Step 3:
Mg is the chemical symbol for Magnesium. It is an alkaline earth flux that can promote matte surfaces in glazes. (C-I)

Step 4:
Mn is the chemical symbol for Manganese. It is a colorant that yields purples and browns in ceramic glazes. (D-II)

Step 5:
Matching these gives A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II, which corresponds to Option 3. \[ \boxed{\text{(3) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II}} \]
