### Step-by-Step Text Solution 1. **Understanding Allotropes**: - Allotropes are different physical forms of the same element, where the atoms are bonded together in different ways. This can lead to variations in physical and chemical properties. 2. **Identifying Allotropes of Sulfur**: - Sulfur is known to exist in several allotropic forms. The three most common allotropes of sulfur are: - **Rhombic Sulfur**: This is the most stable form of sulfur at room temperature and pressure. It has a crystalline structure and is often found in yellow crystals. ...
