उत्तर १
Sulphur mainly exists in combined form in the earth’s crust primarily as sulphates [gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O), Epsom salt (MgSO4.7H2O), baryte (BaSO4)] and sulphides [(galena (PbS), zinc blends (ZnS), copper pyrites (CuFeS2)].
उत्तर २
Sulphur mainly occurs in the combined states in earth’s crust in the form of sulphates and sulphides.
Sulphates : gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O); epsom (MgSO4.7H2O); baryte (BaSO4), etc.
Sulphides : Galena (PbS); zinc blende (ZnS); copper pyrites (CuFeS2); iron pyrites (FeS2), etc. Traces of sulphur occur’as H2S and in organic materials such as eggs, proteins, garlic, onion, mustard, hair and wool.

______ is a gaseous element of group 16.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The boiling point of hydrides of Group 16 elements follows the order:
H2O > H2Te > H2Se > H2S
Statement II: On the basis of molecular mass, H2O is expected to have a lower boiling point than the other members of the group but due to the presence of extensive H-bonding in H2O, it has a higher boiling point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
