⭐⭐⬅️ Answer ➡️➡️➡️➡️Oxygen is small in size and the lone pair 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 213K/J mol therefore bond strength is more compared to O-O bond energy 138k/J mol. ... Hencesulphur has great tendency forcatenation than oxygen.
