Sulphur does not exist as S2 molecule because

Question

Sulphur does not exist as S2 molecule because (A) it is less electronegative (B) it is not able to constitute pπ - pπ bonds (C) it has ability to exhibit catenation (D) of tendency to show variable oxidation states

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Sulphur does not form pπ -pπ bond due to its larger size, hence does not exist as S2 molecules.

Q. Sulphur does not exist as $S_{2}$ molecule because

it is less electronegative

it is not able to constitute $p π - p π$ bonds

it has ability to exhibit catenation

of tendency to show variable oxidation states

Sulphur does not form $p π - p π$ bond due to its larger size, hence does not exist as $S_{2}$ molecules.
