How to draw the covalent bond of S8 MOLECULE OF sulphurCarbon and its compounds |
| Answer» The atomic number (Z) of sulphur is sixteen and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 6. The sulphur atom has six valence electrons. Sulphur has six electrons in its outermost shell and requires two electrons to complete its octet state. So, each sulphur atom shares two electrons, 1 with each adjoining sulphur atom. Eight sulphur atoms form a puckered ring or crown structure to form an eight atom molecule. | |
