Question

The number of bonds between sulphur and oxygen atoms in $S_2{O}_8^{2-}$ and the number of bonds between sulphur and sulphur atoms in rhombic sulphur, respectively, are

• A. $8\text{and}8$
• B. $8\text{and}6$
• C. $4\text{and}6$
• D. $4\text{and}8$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8\text{and}8$


Number of $S-O$ bonds in $S_2{O}_8^{2-}$ is $8$

Number of $S-S$ bonds in rhombic sulphur is $8$.
