Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

8

Answer 2

Answer:

(d) :8. as we know that sulphur has 6 valence electrons so we should make
