Question

Can s have expanded octet in sulfite ion

Answer 1

Two isomers of &F2 were prepared by heating AgF and S. The relative mass spectral cracking patterns of both isomers are reported. For one isomer, microwave transitions for the SS2== SS* Fz, S fk SJ 4 F z, and S34= S3*-Fz species were obtained. The structure was determined to be pyramidal S= SF2 with d (SS)= 1.860-f 0.015 A,, d (SF)= 1.598= F 0.012 A,, LSSF= 107.5 F 1'. and LFSF= 92.5 f 1'. Thedipolemoment was 1.03 f 0. a7 D. The structure was determined to be nonplanar chain FSSF with d (SS)= 1.888 f 0.01 A., d (SF)= 1.635 f …
