What would be the electron dot structure of a molecule of sulphur which is made up of eight atoms of sulphur? (Hint − the eight atoms of sulphur are joined together in the form of a ring.)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


A sulphur atom has 6 outermost electrons. Eight sulphur atoms combine by sharing two electrons among themselves to form a ring type sulphur mole, `S_(8)` (shown alongside).
