Use the data in Table 8.5 and the following data: S—S distance in to answer the following questions: (a) Predict the bond length in a S—N single bond. (b) Predict the bond length in a 5-0 single bond. (c) Why is the S-O bond length in SO₂ considerably shorter than your predicted value for the S-0 single bond? (d) When elemental sulfur, S₈, is carefully oxidized, a compound S₈O is formed, in which one of the sulfur atoms in the S₈ ring is bonded to an oxygen atom. The S—O bond length in this compound is 1.48 In light of this information, write Lewis structures that can account for the observed S-O bond length. Does the sulfur bearing the oxygen in this compound obey the octet rule?
