Identify the incorrect statement :
(a) The ––* bond angles in the S8 and S6 rings are the same.
(b) Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur have S8 molecules.
(c) S2 is paramagnetic like oxygen
(d) S8 ring has a crown shape.
*Correct option: (a) The –– bond angles in the S8 and S6 rings are the same.**
Explanation:
The S6 molecule has a chair-form hexagon ring with the same bond length as that in S8, but with some what smaller bond angles i.e. bond lengths are same but bond angles are different.
