Question

5. The number of valence electrons in sulphide ion S^2- is
a) 16 b) 10 c) d) 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option d)

8

is the correct answer

Answer 2

Eight

The electron cloud around the sulphide ion (S2-) has the greater radius. This is because The nuclear charge is the same for both species, but the eight valence electrons in the sulphide ion experience a greater amount of electron-electron repulsion than do the six valence electrons in the neutral sulphur atom.
