Identify the substance that is not an organic toxin.(a) Aldrin(b) Dieldrin(c) Hydrogen sulphide(d) ToxapheneI had been asked this question in an interview.I'd like to ask this question from Environmental Chemistry topic in section Environmental Chemistry of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Hydrogen sulphide

The best EXPLANATION: Hydrogen sulphide is not an ORGANIC toxin. It is an inorganic toxin. It exists in the gas phase at ambient temperatures, if finely DIVIDED or has a high vapor PRESSURE. But, hydrogen sulphide, becomes far less toxic, when oxidized. Aldrin, Dieldrin, and Toxaphene are organic TOXINS.
