Solution
The correct option is B Statement − 1 is true, Statement − 2 is true and Statement − 2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement − 1. In H2SO4, sulphur has highest oxidation state (VI). This is because there is hydrogen bonding between H2SO4 molecules. Hence it has a associated structure and due to this H2SO4 is viscous.
