In which pair of ions do both the species contain S - S bond?

In which pair of ions do both the species contain S-S bond?
  1. S2O72-, S2O32-
  2. S4O62-, S2O32-
  3. S2O72-, S2O82-
  4. S4O62-, S2O72-

Solution

The name of the given anions:

S4O62- = Tetrathionate ion

S2O32- = Thiosulfate ion

S2O82- = Peroxydisulfate ion

S2O72- = Disulfate ion

Both S4O62- and S2O32- has S-S bond as they both occurs in salt of  dithionic acid which is stable i.e.,H2S2O6  .
