BITSAT2015Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Actual
The P - P - P angle in P ₄ molecule and S - S - S angle in S ₈ molecule is(in degree) respectively
Options
- A60^ , 107^
- B107^ , 60^
- C40^ , 60^
- D60^ , 40^
Correct answer
A. 60^ , 107^
Step-by-step solution
In P₄ molecule, the four sp ³ -hybridised phosphorous atoms lie at the corners of a regular tetrahedron with PPP =60^ . In S ₈ molecule S-S-S angle is 107^ rings. In S ₈ molecule S - S - S angle is 107^ rings .
