पर्याय

Answer 1

Rotten egg smell is due to the liberation of \[\underline{\ce{H2S gas}}\].

Explanation:

Hydrogen sulfide \[\ce{(H2S)}\] release is frequently the cause of the stench of rotting eggs. Hydrogen sulphide is a colorless gas with a foul odour reminiscent of rotten eggs. As they break down organic waste, microorganisms naturally create it.
