Question
Thenumber of $$S - S\,$$ bonds in sulphur trioxide trimer $$\left( {{S_3}{O_9}} \right)$$ is
A.
three
B.
two
C.
one
D.
zero
Answer :
zero
Solution :
In sulphur trioxide trimer $${{S_3}{O_9}}$$ ( also called $$\gamma - $$ sulphur trioxide ) two sulphur atoms are linked to each other via $$O\,$$ atoms, hence there is no $$S - S$$ bond.
