Which of the following species contain(s) an S-S bond?
AThiosulphate ion, SX2OX3X2−
BDithionic acid, HX2SX2OX6
CDithionite ion, SX2OX4X2−
DPyrosulphuric acid, HX2SX2OX7
Answer: A, B, C
Thiosulphate SX2OX3X2− is S−SOX3X2−, dithionite is X−X22−OX2S−SOX2X− and dithionic acid has an S-S bond. Pyrosulphuric acid (oleum) has two S atoms linked through an oxygen bridge, S-O-S, and no S-S bond.
