The number of bonds between sulphur and oxygen atoms in and the number of bonds between sulphur and sulphur atoms in rhombic sulphur, respectively are:
- a
4 and 6
- b✓
8 and 8
- c
8 and 6
- d
4 and 8
8 and 8
Strategy: Count the number of covalent bonds between specific atoms in the peroxodisulphate ion and the ring.
Step 1: Structure of Peroxodisulphate ion consists of two groups connected via a peroxide linkage: . Each sulphur atom forms 4 bonds with oxygen (2 double bonds and 2 single bonds). Total bonds are .
Step 2: Structure of Rhombic Sulphur Rhombic sulphur exists as molecules in a puckered-ring (crown) shape. Each sulphur atom is bonded to two carbon neighbors, resulting in a total of 8 bonds in the ring.
