  1. A \(\mathrm{N}_2\) is a brown coloured gas
  2. B \(\mathrm{O}_3\) is thermodynamically stable compared to oxygen
  3. C Rhombic sulphur is stable at room temperature
  4. D \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) is a colourless gas
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Rhombic sulphur is stable at room temperature

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the allotropes of sulphur, rhombic (yellow) sulphur is more stable than the monoclinic sulphur and is stable at room temperature. Above \(369 \mathrm{~K}\), rhombic sulphur transforms into monoclinic. \(\mathrm{N}_2\) is a colourless gas, \(\mathrm{O}_3\) is less stable…
