  2. B The order of boiling points of hydrides of \(16^{\text {th }}\) group elements is \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  3. C Rhombic sulphur has \(S_8\) molecules while monoclinic sulphur has \(S_6\) molecules.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Rhombic sulphur has \(S_8\) molecules while monoclinic sulphur has \(S_6\) molecules.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Reducing power decreases from \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) to \(\mathrm{TeO}_2\) on moving down the group. (b) Order of boiling point of hydrides of 16th group elements are \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} Thus, option (c) is incorrect.
