ortho and para form of hydrogen have

Options

  1. Adifferent physical and chemical properties
  2. Bidentical physical properties but different chemical properties
  3. Cidentical chemical properties but different physical properties
  4. Didentical chemical and physical properties

Correct answer

C. identical chemical properties but different physical properties

Step-by-step solution

Ortho and para hydrogen similar to each other in their chemical properties but they have different physical properties like boiling point, thermal conductivity, due to their difference in overall spins.
