Assign reason for the following: Sulphur vapour is paramagnetic. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :SULPHUR is in the diatomic state `(S_2)` in vapour phase. Electronic configuration of S is : `3S^(2) 3p_x^(2) 3p_y^(1) 3p_z^(1)`.There are TWO unpaired electrons in antibonding `pi` orbitals. That is why sulphur in vapour phase is paramagnetic. | |
