MHT CET · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)
Identify FALSE statement from following.
- A Boiling point of sulfur is lower than oxygen.
- B Ionization enthalpy of group 16 elements gradually decreases from top to bottom.
- C Group 16 elements have lower ionization enthalpy than group 15 elements in corresponding periods.
- D Oxygen has highest electronegativity next to fluorine amongst all the elements.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Boiling point of sulfur is lower than oxygen.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Melting and boiling points of elements of group 16 increase with increasing atomic number. Therefore, oxygen has low melting and boiling points as compared to sulfur.
