Question

in the electronic dot structure of S8 we can also use double covalent bonds between S8 but why do we use single bonds only what may be the reason?
Please tell.
Please no spams.​

Answer 1

Answer:

because sulphur have outer most 8 e. in S8 to share one one e. to compete octet form single bond. double bond impossible to share double double e.

Answer 2

Explanation:

see,I have the solution of your question

we know- sulphur have 6 electrons in its last shell "m"

-it needed only 2 more electrons to be stable

-so, here, We have 8 atoms of sulphur, given in the question (which is,' formation of s8')

-So,if each 8 atom of sulphur start combining or bonding with each other

-then each atom of sulphur is not sharing 2-2 electrons with same atom of sulphur

:.they are sharing 1-1 electrons with each different atom of sulphur....

and one thing more, they're in cyclic mode that's why it is easy to have 1-1 electrons with two other different atom of sulphur

which made 6 electrons into 8 electrons

by the sharing of only 1-1 electrons

Hope it helps
