✓Answer
(a) SO2
Explanation – Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas. It is a reducing agent and turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green.
(b) NCl3
Explanation – Nitrogen trichloride is a yellow explosive oily liquid formed when excess chlorine reacts with ammonia.
\mathrm{NH_3 + 3Cl_2 \rightarrow NCl_3 + 3HCl}(c) PbO
Explanation – Lead(II) oxide is yellow and is produced when lead carbonate (PbCO3) undergoes thermal decomposition.
