Crystalline sulfur consists of puckered S8rings in the shape of crowns. These can be packed together in two different ways – to form rhombic crystals and to form needle-shaped monoclinic crystals, as shown below: Below about 96 °C, rhombic sulfur is the more stable allotrope.
369K is called transition temperature because both the allotropes of sulphur are stable at this temperature. In other words, we can conclude that α sulphur is stable below 369K and it becomes β-sulphur above that temperature.Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur, both have S8 molecules.
The Three Allotropic Forms of Sulfur. orthorhombic, The orthorhombic form is the most common crystalline form because it is the most stable form below 96oC. It is a yellow, brittle solid which occurs in S8 rings.
