Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements

Question is based on following passage:
p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family. Nitrogen makes various compounds like NH3,HNO3,N2O,NO2NH_3, HNO_3, N_2O, NO_2, etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. PH3PH_3, gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains 21% O2O_2 gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. S2S_2 is paramagnetic like O2O_2, and it stable at high temperature. Group 17 is Halogen family. F2,F_2, is highly reactive, Cl2Cl_2, is greenish yellow gas. Both SO2SO_2, and Cl2Cl_2 are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds. Complete hydrolysis of XeF6XeF_6, gives HF and XeO6XeO_6, as main products.
