  • In the following question, a statement of Assertion (i) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the following choices: Assertion (i): Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S_{8} but oxygen exists as O\pi.

In the following question, a statement of Assertion (i) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the following choices:

Assertion (i): Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S_{8} but oxygen exists as O_{2}.
Reason (R): Oxygen forms p\pi -p\pi multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but p\pi -p\pi bonding is not possible in sulphur.

(i) Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(ii) Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(iii) Assertion is correct but Beason is wrong.
(iv) Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct.
(v) Both Assertion and Reason are wrong.

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (i). Sulphur cannot form p\pi -p\pi multiple bonds like oxygen, so it exists as S_{8}.
