A liquid compound $X$ of molecular mass $18u$ can be obtained from a number of natural sources. All the animals and plants need liquid $X$ for their survival. When an electric current is passed through $200$ grams of pure liquid $X$ under suitable conditions, then $178$ grams of gas $Y$ and $22$ grams of gas $Z$ are produced. Gas $Y$ is produced at the positive electrode whereas gas $Z$ is obtained at the negative electrode. Moreover, gas $Y$ supports combustion whereas gas $Z$ burns itself causing explosions.

There is a large group of materials $P$ which can be divided into three groups $Q, R,$ and $S$ on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group $Q$ can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group $Q$ are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group $R$ are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group $S$ are neither insulators like $Q$ nor good conductors like $R.$ The properties of $S$ are intermediate between those of $Q$ and $R.$
→- What could the group of materials $P$ be$?$
- Name the substances $Q$. Give two examples of such substances.
- Name the substances $R.$ Write two examples of such substances.
- Name the substances $S.$ Give two examples of such substances.
- Out of $Q, R$ and $S,$ which substances are malleable and ductile$?$
