    In sq molecules, the type of hybridisation exhibited by sulphur is

    A) \[s{{p}^{2}}\]    

    B)                        \[s{{p}^{3}}\]

    C)                        \[sp\]                                   

    D)                        \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In\[{{S}_{8}}\]molecules, each sulphur is\[s{{p}^{3}}\]hybridized with two lone pairs of electrons occupying two of the hybrid orbitals and reducing the\[S-S-S\]bond angle to\[{{105}^{o}}\].
