Given below are two statements :
Statement I : $\alpha$ and $\beta$ forms of sulphur can change reversibly between themselves with slow heating or slow cooling.
Statement II : At room temperature the stable crystalline form of sulphur is monoclinic sulphur.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
$$\alpha - sulphur\mathrel{\mathop{\kern0pt\rightleftharpoons} \limits_{{ < 369K}}^{{ > 369K}}} \beta - sulphur$$<br><br>
at room temperature $\alpha$-sulphur (Rhombic) is most stable form.
