Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
BH2S2O7>H2SO4>H2SO3

Step-by-step explanation

                                                 Number of π-bonds

H2S2O7=HOS||||OOOS||||OOOH       4

H2So4=OHS||||OOOH                      2

H2SO3=HOS..||OOH                       1

Therefore, the correct sequence of decreasing number of pi-bonds is H2S2O7(4) >H2SO4 (2) >H2SO3(1). The numbers in bracket indicate the number of pi bonds.
