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.
