Question:

Identify the incorrect statement: The S−S−S bond angles in the S8 and S6 rings are the same. Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur have S8 molecules. S8 ring has a crown shape. S2 is paramagnetic like oxygen.

TheS−S−Sbond angles in theS8andS6rings are the same

S2is paramagnetic like oxygen

S8ring has a crown shape

Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur haveS8molecules

Solution:
