Existence of sulphur in two forms is
Correct answer: A. Allotropy
- A. Allotropy
- B. Polymorphy
- C. Isomorphy
- D. Anisotropy
Explanation
Allotropy refers to the existence of an element in two or more different forms or allotropes, where each form has different physical or chemical properties. Sulphur is an example of an element that exhibits allotropy. At normal atmospheric conditions, sulphur exists primarily in two forms: rhombic sulphur and monoclinic sulphur. These allotropes have different crystalline structures and properties.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
