  1. A They have different boiling points
  2. B Ortho-form is more stable than para-form
  3. C They differ in their nuclear spin
  4. D The ratio of ortho to para hydrogen changes with change in temperature
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Ortho-form is more stable than para-form

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) Ortho and para hydrogens have difterent nuclear spin. In \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) molecule, two protons in two H atoms with pare spin are called ortho-hydrogen (ii) Ortho-hydrogen is more stable than para form at and above room temperature only, therefore para form always tends to…
