ChemistrySingle correct+4 / -1Question 46 of 90

Identify the incorrect statement :

\ce{S2}

is paramagnetic like oxygen.

Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur have

\ce{S8}

molecules.

\ce{S8}

ring has a crown shape.

The S-S-S bond angles in the

\ce{S8}

and

\ce{S6}

rings are the same.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

The S-S-S angles differ: about 107° in the $\ce{S8}$ crown and about 102° in the $\ce{S6}$ chair. $\ce{S2}$ is paramagnetic like $\ce{O2}$ , and both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur consist of $\ce{S8}$ rings.
