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

The atomic number (Z) of sulphur is sixteen and its electric configuration is 2,8,6. the sulphur atom has six valence electrons the chemical formula of sulphur molecule is `S_8`.Each sulphur atom is linked to similaratoms on either sides by single covalent bonds and thus, completes its octet. the molecule is in the form of a ring also represented by crown shape.
