उत्तर
An element X reacts with hydrogen, when heated, to form a covalent hydride H2X. If H2X has a smell of rotten eggs, the element X is likely to be sulphur.
Explanation:
When sulphur is heated with hydrogen, it forms a covalent hydride known as hydrogen sulphide (H2S). This gas has a highly distinctive, foul odour resembling rotten eggs. The chemical equation representing this specific interaction is:
\[\ce{H2 + S -> H2S}\]
