    The document is a chemistry portfolio assignment that identifies element x as sulfur based on clues about its properties. Sulfur shows catenation and allotropy, and is formed from oxides that are air pollutants produced in the thermal decomposition of ferrous sulfate. The thermal decomposition equation is given as 2FeSO4 → Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3. The oxides of sulfur are identified as acidic, and sulfur is located in group 16, period 3 of the periodic table.

    An element x which is a yellow solid at to
    room temperature shows catenation and
    allotropy. X from two oxides which are also
    formed during thermal decomposition of
    ferrous sulphate crystals and are major air
    pollutants

    Ans: The element x is sulphur


    b) write the electronic configuration of x ?

    Ans: 2,8,6
    c) write the balanced chemical equation for
    the thermal decomposition of ferrous
    sulphate crystals ?

    Ans: Thermal decomposition of ferrous


    sulphat

    2 FeSO4 → Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3


    b) what would be the nature ( acidic / basic)
    of oscides formed ?

    Ans: Oxides of sulphur are acidic in


    nature.
