In the scheme of things, you and I have a fairly limited range of ways to feed ourselves. We may get to decide between veggies and ice cream (and hopefully, end up enjoying both in healthy quantities!). However, it's not too likely that we're going to photosynthesize. We're also unlikely to eat hydrogen sulfide, the compound responsible for "rotten egg smell," for breakfast.
Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) are way more diverse than humans in their nutritional strategies – that is, the ways they obtain fixed carbon (fuel molecules) and energy. Some species consume organic material like dead plants and animals. Others live off of inorganic compounds in rocks. One bacterium, Thiobacillus concretivorans, consumes metal-melting sulfuric acid!
S₂ molecule is paramagnetic. It is paramagnetic due to the unpaired electrons in MO and is a blue coloured compound, thus the statement is true
