Account for the following: Oxygen shows catenation behavior less than sulphur.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Sulphur shows catenation behavior more than that of oxygen because the oxygen atom is smaller in size as compared to sulphur, the O-O bonds in oxygen experiences repulsions due to the lone pairs present on oxygen atom and therefore, are weaker as compared to the S-S bonds.
