The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of marking the correct statements regarding mercury, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Mercury forms an amalgam with iron.** - **Analysis:** Mercury does form amalgams with most metals; however, it does not form an amalgam with iron and platinum. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **wrong**. 2. **Statement 2: Mercury vapor is non-poisonous.** - **Analysis:** Mercury is known to be poisonous, and its vapor is particularly toxic. Hence, this statement is also incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **wrong**. 3. **Statement 3: Mercury is monatomic and monovalent in mercurous compounds.** - **Analysis:** In mercurous compounds (like Hg2Cl2), mercury exists as dimers (Hg2^2+), meaning it does not exist as monatomic. Therefore, this statement is incorrect as well. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **wrong**. 4. **Statement 4: Oxysols of mercury are thermally unstable.** - **Analysis:** Oxysols of mercury do decompose upon heating to form metallic mercury and oxygen, indicating that they are thermally unstable. This statement is correct. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The only correct statement is **Statement 4**: "Oxysols of mercury are thermally unstable." ---
