Solution

The atomic number $(Z)$ of sulphur is sixteen and its electronic configuration is $2, 8, 6$ . The sulphuratom has six
valence electrons. The chemical formula of sulphur molecule is $S_{8}$ .Each sulphur atom is linked to similar atoms on
either sides by single covalent bonds and thus, completes its octet. The molecule is in the form of a ring also
represented by crown shape.
