Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : $α$ and $β$ forms of sulphur can change reversibly between themselves with slow heating or slow cooling.

Statement II : At room temperature the stable crystalline form of sulphur is monoclinic sulphur.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

α - sulphur ⇌ < 369 K > 369 K β - sulphur at room temperature α -sulphur (Rhombic) is most stable form. The most stable allotropic form of sulphur is Rhombic sulphur. Since both rhombic and monoclinic are nonpolar in nature so, they are soluble in non-polar solvents like carbon disulphide (CS 2 â€‹). Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur has the molecular formula S 8 .â€‹
