The large difference between the melting and boiling points of oxygen and sulphur may be explained on the basis of
Select the correct option:
A
Atomicity
B
Electronegativity
C
Electron gain enthalpy
D
Atomic size
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Oxygen exists as $O_2$ (Atomicity = 2)
Sulphur exists as $S_8$ (Atomicity = 8)
Hence, Melting point & Boiling point of sulphur are significantly large compared to oxygen.
