Identify the incorrect statement:
Options
- AThe S-S-S bond angles in the S₈ and S₆ rings are the same.
- BRhombic and monoclinic sulphur have S ₈ molecules.
- CS ₂ is paramagnetic like oxygen
- DS ₈ ring has a crown shape.
Correct answer
A. The S-S-S bond angles in the S₈ and S₆ rings are the same.
Step-by-step solution
The S ₆ molecule has a chair-form hexagon ring with the approx same bond length as that in S ₈ , but with some what smaller bond angles i.e. bond lengths are approx same but bond angles are different.
