Which of the following statements is not correct?
Options
- AFrom ( SO ₂ ) to ( TeO ₂ ) reducing power decreases
- BThe order of boiling points of hydrides of (16^ th ) group elements is ( H ₂ ~S < H ₂ Se < H ₂ Te < H ₂ O )
- CRhombic sulphur has (S₈ ) molecules while monoclinic sulphur has (S₆ ) molecules.
- DThe bond angle in ozone molecule is (117^ ).
Correct answer
C. Rhombic sulphur has (S₈ ) molecules while monoclinic sulphur has (S₆ ) molecules.
Step-by-step solution
(a) Reducing power decreases from ( SO ₂ ) to ( TeO ₂ ) on moving down the group. (b) Order of boiling point of hydrides of 16th group elements are ( H ₂ ~S Thus, option (c) is incorrect.
