Sulphur is more stable in the form of rhombic sulphur which contains `S_(8)` rings. This on heating converts into vapour that consists of `S_(2)` fragments.The correct statements about these `S_(8)` and `S_(2)` molecules. (A) S-S bond length is more in `S_(8)` than in `S_(2)` . (B) `S_(8)` ring is diamagnetic whereas `S_(2)` is paramagnetic. C) in `S_(8)` and `S_(2)` mlecules there are two lone pairs of electrons on each sulphur atom
