p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family.
Nitrogen makes various compounds like \(NH _3, HNO _3, N_2 O , NO _2\) etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. \(PH _3\) gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains \(21\% O_2\) gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. \(S_2\) is paramagnetic like \(O_2\) and it stable at high temperature.
Group 17 is Halogen family. \(F_2\) is highly reactive, \(Cl _2\) is greenish yellow gas. Both \(SO _2\) and \(Cl _2\) are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds.
Complete hydrolysis of \(XeF _6\) gives HF and \(XeO _3\) as main products.
At elevated temperature \((\sim 1000 K)\) the dominant form of sulphur is :

  1. A Rhombic Sulphur
  2. B Monoclinic Sulphur
  3. C S molecules
  4. D S2
