The large difference between the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur may be explained on the basis of _______.
- A Atomicity
- B Electron gain enthalpy
- C Electronegativity
- D Atomic size
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Atomicity
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The large difference in the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur is due to atomicity as oxygen exists as \(\mathrm{O}_2\) and sulphur exists as \(\mathrm{S}_8\).
