Question

The number of s s bonds in sulphur trioxide trimer (s3o9) is

Answer 1

Answer:

s-o-s bond =3

s-s bond =0

Answer 2

Answer:

There will be 0 number of s- s bonds in sulphur trioxide trimer (s3o9).

Explanation:

Sulphur trioxide can exist in both monomeric and polymeric forms. In the gaseous and  liquid state, pure SO3 is an equilibrium mixture of monomeric SO3 and trimeric S3O9, also called Y-SO3. Muller TL;

The structure of sulphur trioxide trimer is Number of S—S linkages in trimer = Zero.

: Hence, number of S-S bond = 0.
