Why the molecular form of sulphur is S8 not S2? |
|
Answer» ya this is better. In a simple language, In case of sulphur, there is a large distance btw two atoms and its p -orbitals can\'t overlaps and form single bond instead of double bond. That is why ,it is in the form of S8 not S2. Sulfur exists in many allotropic forms. S8 the cyclic or ring structure with chemical bonds among the atoms. It is best known as well as most stable allotrope at room temperature and normal atmosphere. It reduces only in presence of strong acids. It is also known as ortho rhombiicsulfur. Sulfur exists as 4 isotopes and they contain sulfur of different oxidation states. |
