Question

What is the structure of monoclinic sulphur? How is it different from the crown structure of rhombic?

Answer 1

Both are the allotropes of sulphur and formed differently.
Let's make it simple by differentiating them:
- rhombic crystals are short and fat diamond-like structures while monoclinic crystals are long and thin rectangular prisms
- rhombic crystals are formed under 96°C while monoclinic crystals are formed above 96°C (formed when heating sulphur crystals)
