In the extraction of copper from copper glance, blister copper is formed by the evolution of gas $\underline{X}$. The shape of molecule of $\underline{X}$ is
  1. Angular
  2. Plánar trigonal
  3. Tetrahedral
  4. Pyramidal

Solution

$2 \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}+3 \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{SO}_2$ $ 2 \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S} \rightarrow 6 \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{SO}_2 $ Shape of $\mathrm{SO}_2=$ Angular $/$ bent
