Question

In S 8 molecules, the type of hybridisation exhibited by sulphur is (A) s p2 (B) s p3 (C) sp (D) s p3d

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In S8 molecules, each sulphur is s p3 hybridised with two lone pairs of electrons occupying two of the hybrid orbitals and reducing the S - S - S bond angle to 105°.

Q. In $S_{8}$ molecules, the type of hybridisation exhibited by sulphur is
