Question

${\mathrm{S}}_8$ is an example of_______molecule.

Answer 1

Atomicity: Atomicity is defined as the number of atoms joined together to form a molecule of an element.

Poly-atomic molecule: These molecules consist of more than three atoms of the same type.

Example: Phosphorus $\left({\mathrm{P}}_4\right)$and Sulphur $\left({\mathrm{S}}_8\right)$are poly-atomic molecules.

Therefore, ${\mathrm{S}}_8$ is an example of a poly-atomic molecule.
