Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \((A)\) and the other is labelled as Reason \((R)\).
Assertion \((A)\) : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as \(S_5\) while oxygen exists as \(O_2\). Reason \((R)\) : Oxygen forms \(\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi\) multiple bonds with itself and other elements having small size and high electronegativity like \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{N}\), which is not possible for sulphur. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- A Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are correct and \((R)\) is the correct explanation of \((A)\).
- B Both \((A)\) and \((R)\) are correct but \((R)\) is not the correct explanation of \((A)\).
- C \((A)\) is correct but \((R)\) is not correct.
- D \((A)\) is not correct but \((R)\) is correct.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \((A)\) is correct but \((R)\) is not correct.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oxygen can form \(2 \mathrm{p} \pi-2 \mathrm{p} \pi\) multiple bond with itself due to its small size while sulphur cannot form multiple bond with itself as \(3 \mathrm{p} \pi-3 \mathrm{p} \pi\) bond will be unstable due to large size of sulphur, but sulphur can form multiple…
