In the cyclo `-S_(8)` molecule of rhombic sulphur, all the `S-S` bond lengths and all the `S-S-S` bond angle are `"_____"` (approximate values ) respectively

Options

A. `204`pm and `105^(@)`
B. `204`pm and `107^(@)`
C. `102`pm and `102^(@)`
D. `102`pm and `106^(@)`

Answer

2

Explanation

In all of the ring forms of `S`,the `S-S` distance is `204-2.6p m` and the bond angle `S-S-S` in the range `102-108^(@)`. They are all soluble in `CS_(2)`. Orthorhombic form of `S` is thermodynamically and most stable.
