Consider the following statements: Statement-I: Hydrogen is abundant in the universe, but on earth it is found in relatively small amounts. Statement-II It exists primarily in the form of water (H2O), hydrocarbons and in trace amounts in the atmosphere. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
A: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I
B: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I
C: Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
D: Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (accounting for about 75% of all matter), it is relatively less abundant on Earth due to its high reactivity. It readily combines with other elements to form compounds like water (H2O), hydrocarbons, and minerals. Hence, Statement-I correct.
Hydrogen is primarily found on Earth in the form of water (H2O), hydrocarbons like methane and natural gas, and in trace amounts in the atmosphere as water vapor. Hence, Statement-II correct.
Statement-II not accurately explains why hydrogen is found in relatively small amounts on Earth despite being the most abundant element in the universe.
