Use the data in Table 8.5 and the following data: S-S distance in Ss = 2.05 A; s-o
Chapter 8, Problem 8.96(choose chapter or problem)
Use the data in Table 8.5 and the following data: S-S distance in Ss = 2.05 A; s-o distance in SOz = 1.43 A to answer the following questions: (a) Predict the bond length in a S-N single bond. (b) Predict the bond length in a s-o single bond. (c) Why is the s-o bond length in S02 considerably shorter than your predicted value for the S-O single bond? (d) When elemental sulfur, 5s, is carefully oxidized, a compound SsO is formed, in which one of the sulfur atoms in the S8 ring is bonded to an oxygen atom. The S-O bond length in this compound is 1.48 A. In light of this information, write Lewis structures that can account for the observed S-0 bond length. Does the sulfur bearing the oxygen in this compound obey the octet rule?
