Question

The chemical formula of sulfur is?

Answer 1

Sulphur

1. Sulfur (S) is an element that is non-metal, found in the periodic table in group 16.
2. The abbreviated electronic configuration of sulfur is $1{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{s}}^{2}2{\mathrm{p}}^{6}3{\mathrm{s}}^{2}3{\mathrm{p}}^4$ in short it can be written as $\left[\mathrm{Ne}\right]3{\mathrm{s}}^{2}3{\mathrm{p}}^4$.
3. Sulfur is recovered from natural gas, coal, crude oil, and other sources such as flue dust and gases from sulfide ores refining.
4. The most common form of the element sulfur is composed of molecules that consist of eight atoms of sulfur, its molecular formula is ${\mathrm{S}}_8$.

Therefore, the chemical formula of sulfur is${\mathrm{S}}_8$.
