Question

Formation of covalent bond of S8.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electron dot structure of sulphur will be a ring shaped .

The atomic number (Z) of sulphur is sixteen and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 6. The sulphur atom has six valence electrons. The chemical formula of sulphur molecule is Each sulphur atom is linked to similar atoms on either sides by single covalent bonds and thus, completes its octet.

and , forms ring shaped structure

hope it helps ;!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.
