Viscosity of sulphur increases when molt...

Viscosity of sulphur increases when molten sulphur is heated from `120^(@)C" to "160^(@)C`. Why

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At `119^(@)C`, sulphur forms a clear mobile liquid.
A When this liquid is further heated, the cleavage of octaatomic ring structure occurs. Zig-zag open chains are formed, which get interwound and tangled together. Hence sulphur becomes more viscous.
