Question
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:
(a) carbon
(b) sulphur
(c) chlorine
(d) phosphorus

Solution
(b) sulphur
Because sulphur reacts with hydrogen to form a covalent hydride, H2S that has the smell of rotten eggs.
