The large difference between the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur may be explained on the basis of

Options

  1. AAtomicity
  2. BElectron gain enthalpy
  3. CElectronegativity
  4. DAtomic size

Correct answer

A. Atomicity

Step-by-step solution

The large difference in the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur is due to atomicity as oxygen exists as O ₂ and sulphur exists as S ₈ .
