Assertion: The S-S-S bond angle in \( S_{8} \) molecule is \( 105^{\circ} \) Reason \( : S_{8} \) has V-shape.

1. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is correct explanation of the assertion
2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion
3. If the assertion is true but reason is false
4. If both the assertion and reason are false E. If the assertion is false but the reason is true

Correct answer: If the assertion is true but reason is false

Solution

The S8 molecule is a puckered ring, and the S–S–S bond angle is about 105°, so the assertion is true. However, calling S8 simply “V-shaped” is incorrect; that description applies to a bent triatomic arrangement, not the full S8 ring.
