Question

which sulphur molecule in vapour state exhibits paramagnetism ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In vapour state, Sulphur partly exists as S2 molecule, which has two unpaired electrons in antibinding pie orbitals, just like the O2 molecule. Hence, it exhibits paramagnetism. Because in vapour state it exists as S2 molecule and has 2 unpaired electrons in antibonding pi orbital and hence exhibit paramagnetism.
