EasyMCQ
How many atoms of sulfur are present in one molecule of sulfur?
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$6$
D
$8$

Solution

(D) Sulfur exists in nature as a polyatomic molecule.
Specifically,a single molecule of sulfur consists of $8$ sulfur atoms arranged in a puckered ring structure,commonly known as $S_8$.

EasyMCQ
In which solvent is sulphur soluble?
A
Water
B
Carbon disulphide
C
Bromine
D
Distilled water

Solution

(B) Sulphur is a non-polar covalent molecule. According to the principle of 'like dissolves like',it is insoluble in polar solvents like water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Carbon disulphide $(CS_2)$ is a well-known non-polar organic solvent in which sulphur readily dissolves.

EasyMCQ
What is the melting point of sulfur (in $K$)?
A
$388$
B
$369$
C
$443$
D
$573$

Solution

(A) Sulfur is a non-metal that exists in various allotropic forms,most commonly as rhombic sulfur $(S_8)$.
The melting point of sulfur is approximately $388 \ K$ $(115 \ ^\circ C)$.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

EasyMCQ
Pavan separates some materials into two groups and notes their properties. These properties are given in the table below:
Group $1$ Group $2$
They cannot be beaten into sheets. They can be beaten into sheets.
When one end is in contact with a hot object,the other end does not get hot quickly. When one end is in contact with a hot object,the other end gets hot quickly.
They cannot be drawn into thin wires. They can be drawn into thin wires.

Which of the following statements cannot be false?
A
Materials in Group $1$ are generally not lustrous and hard.
B
Materials in Group $1$ generally have lower density than materials in Group $2$.
C
Materials in Group $2$ can be used to make bells.
D
Materials in Group $2$ can be used to make materials that are insulators of electricity.

Solution

(C) Based on the properties provided in the table:
$1$. Group $1$ materials are non-malleable,poor conductors of heat,and non-ductile. These are characteristic properties of non-metals.
$2$. Group $2$ materials are malleable,good conductors of heat,and ductile. These are characteristic properties of metals.
$3$. Metals are sonorous (produce a ringing sound when struck),which is why they are used to make bells. Therefore,the statement that materials in Group $2$ can be used to make bells is a scientifically accurate property of metals and cannot be false.
