Question

Sulphur is found in many forms in the nature. S2, S6 and Ss being some of them. What can we say
will certainly be common among these forms of sulphur?
(A) They will exhibit same physical properties
(B) They will exhibit same chemical properties
(C) Sulphur atoms in each will be identical
(D) All of the above
​

Answer 1

Answer:

What can be said about these common forms of sulphur is that;

(B) They will exhibit same chemical properties

Explanation:

Allotropy is the property of an element to exist in two or more forms in the same physical state

Allotropes have several similar chemical  properties but differ in their physical properties, such as the white, pale yellow to totally colorless diamond and the gray graphite

Sulphur can exist in several allotropic forms, and carbon is the only element that has more allotropes than sulphur

The sulphur allotropes includes S₂, S₆, and S₅ have similar chemical properties but different physical properties.

The correct option is;

What can be said about these common forms of sulphur is that they have the same chemical properties
