Assertion (A) Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as `S_(8)` but oxygen exists as `O_(2)`.
Reason (R ) Oxygen forms `ppi-ppi` multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but `ppi-ppi` bonding is not possoble is not possible in sulphur.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements , and Reason is the correct explation of the Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are correct statements , and Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

Assertion is correct, but Reason is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both rhombic and monoclic=nic sulphur exist as `S_(8)` but oxygen exists as `O_(2)` , because oxygen forms `ppi-ppi` multiple bond due to its small size and small bond length. But `ppi-ppi` bonding is not possible in sulphur due to its bigger size as compared to oxygen.
