Answer:

Oxygen is small in size and the lone pairs on oxygen repel the bond pairs of O-O bond to larger extent than the lone pairs on sulphur in S-S bond. The S-S bond energy 213 k J/mol therefore bond strength is more compared to O-O bond energy 138 k J/mol. ... Hence sulphur has greater tendency for catenation than oxygen
