Why does sulphur in vapour state exhibit paramagnetic behaviour
Asked by lovemaan5500 | 27 Jan, 2020, 06:45: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Under ordinary conditions sulphur exists as S8 in solid state. In vapour state sulphur partly exists as S2 molecule and S2 molecule has two unpaired electrons in the antibonding π* orbitals. Hence, in vapour state sulphur exhibits paramagnetism.
