Question

Identify the incorrect statement :

• A. The $S-S-S$ bond angles in the $S_{8}$ and $S_{6}$ rings are the same.
• B. Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur have $S _{8}$ molecules.
• C. $S _{2}$ is paramagnetic like oxygen
• D. $S _{8}$ ring has a crown shape.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The $S _{6}$ molecule has a chair-form hexagon ring with the approx same bond length as that in $S _{8}$, but with some what smaller bond angles i.e. bond lengths are approx same but bond angles are different.
