Which of the following statements is not correct for sulphur?
  1. In sulphur, stronger pπ-dπ overlap takes place because the size of the d orbitals is similar to that of the p orbitals.
  2. The size of the atom and the size of the 3d orbitals decrease from S to Cl because on crossing a period in the periodic table, the nuclear charge is increased and s and p electrons shield the nuclear charge incompletely
  3. Due to stronger pπ-dπ overlap, only a few sulphur compounds polymerize.
  4. Sulphur belongs to 18th group.

Answer

(D) Sulphur belongs to 18th group.
