The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (B): H2SO5 and H2S2O8
Peroxoacids of sulfur are inorganic acids that have both peroxy and acidic functional groups. They are formed by the combination of hydrogen peroxide with oxoacids of sulfur. The two peroxosulfhuric acids are Peroxomonosulphuric Acid: Which has the chemical formula of H2SO5. It is a strong oxidizing acid also called Caro’s Acid. Peroxodisulfuric acid (H2S2O8): It is also known as Marshall’s acid and is a powerful oxidizing and dehydrating acid. They are both highly reactive.

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
