The correct answer is

Pyrosulphuric Acid Structure Identification

Pyrosulphuric acid, also known as disulfuric acid, has the chemical formula $H_2S_2O_7$. Its structure is characterized by two sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) units joined by an oxygen atom, forming a central sulfur-oxygen-sulfur (S-O-S) bridge.

The structure consists of:

  • Two sulfur atoms (S).
  • Seven oxygen atoms (O).
  • Two hydrogen atoms (H).
  • A central oxygen atom linking the two sulfur atoms.
  • Each sulfur atom is bonded to the bridging oxygen, two additional oxygen atoms (one commonly depicted as a double bond), and one hydrogen atom.

The image corresponding to Option D depicts this specific arrangement, correctly representing the molecular structure of pyrosulphuric acid ($H_2S_2O_7$).
