Question
Which of the following is not a property of thiols (RSH)?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Thiols are not all solids; they can be gases, liquids, or solids depending on molecular weight (e.g., methanethiol is a gas). They can be oxidized to disulfides, have foul odors (like skunks), and are weak acids (more acidic than alcohols).
Hint
What is the physical state of low molecular weight thiols?
