Question

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Peroxodisulphuric acid ():
Structure: 
- Each S has 2 S=O bonds (π bonds) → 2 × 2 = 4 π bonds
- The O–O peroxide bond is a single bond (no π)
- Total π bonds = 4

Step 2 — Pyrosulphuric acid ():
Structure: 
- Each S has 2 S=O bonds → 2 × 2 = 4 π bonds
- The bridging O is a single bond
- Total π bonds = 4

Step 3 — Sum:

Answer: 8
