Answer is FALSE. Because sulfur has no tendency to loss an electron, since its electronic configuration is 16, it always want to gain 2 electron to form S^2-, following octet rule.

The answer would be yes if it can lose an electron(because when an atom loses an electron it form cation whose nuclear charge remain as same as neutral atom but number of electron decreases. As a result the nuclear charge has to act on a fewer number of electron and hence there will be more attraction between the nuclear charge and outermost electrons resulting in decrease in size) but it is not possible in case of sulfur.

The isomerization reaction, ch3nc → ch3cn, is first order and the rate constant is equal to 0.46 s-1 at 600 k. what is the conce
Harlamova29_29 [7]
According to this formula :
㏑[A] /[Ao] = - Kt 
when we have Ao = 0.3 m 
and K =0.46 s^-1
t = 20min = 0.2 x 60 =12 s
So by substitution :
㏑[A] / 0.3 = - 0.46 * 12
㏑[A] / 0.3 = - 5.52
by taking e^x for both side of the equation we can get [A]
∴[A] = 0.0012 mol dm^-3
