    The oxidation number and covalency of sulphur in sulphur molecule \[({{S}_{8}})\] are

    A)  0 and 2                                

    B)  + 6 and 8

    C)  0 and 8                                

    D)  + 6 and 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    In elemental state, the ON of an element is zero. Therefore, ON of S in \[{{S}_{8}}\] is zero. Further in the \[{{S}_{8}}\] molecule, each sulphur atom is connected to two other sulphur atoms, therefore its co valency is 2.
