Assertion (A): | Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S8 but oxygen exists as O2. |
Reason (R): | Oxygen forms pπ - pπ multiple bonds due to its small size and small bond length but pπ - pπ bonding is not possible in sulphur. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | SF6 cannot be hydrolysed but SF4 can be. |
Reason (R): | Six F-atoms in SF6 prevent the attack of H2O on sulphur atom of SF6 |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

The electron gain enthalpy values for O → O– and O → O2– are –141 and 702 kJ mol-1 , respectively. The correct statement about the formation of oxides is-
1. | Higher the electron gain enthalpy lower is the lattice energy. |
2. | Higher the electron gain enthalpy higher is the lattice energy. |
3. | Higher the electron gain enthalpy higher is the stability of oxide. |
4. | O- is more stable than O2- |
