Q49Multiple choice
An element X which is a yellow solid at room temperature shows catenation and allotropy. X forms two oxides which are also formed during the thermal decomposition of ferrous sulphate crystals and are the major air pollutants.
- (a)Identify the element X
- (b)Write the electronic configuration of X
- (c)Write the balanced chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of ferrous sulphate crystals?
- (d)What would be the nature (acidic/ basic) of oxides formed? (e) Locate the position of the element in the Modern Periodic Table.
