Most unstable molecule in latimer diagram for sulfur
Accepted Answer
The most unstable species in a Latimer diagram is the one with the most positive reduction potential relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. To determine the most unstable molecule in the Latimer diagram for sulfur, you need to look at the reduction potentials for each sulfur species. The species with the highest (most positive) reduction potential will be the most easily reduced, and thus the most unstable.
