Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.74CHP
At high temperatures, sulfur vapor is predominantly in the form of S2(g) molecules.
- (a) Assuming that the molecular orbitals for third-row diatomic molecules are analogous to those for second-row molecules, construct an MO diagram for the valence orbitals of S2(g).
- (b) Is S2 likely to be paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
- (c) What is the bond order of S2(g)?
- (d) When two electrons are added to S2, the disulfide ion S22− is formed. Is the bond length in S22− likely to be shorter or longer than the bond length in S2? Explain.
