Answers
sulphur is octa tomi element
Answer:
Sulphur is octaatomic in nature.
Explanation:
Octaatomic element:
An octatomic element is a chemical element that, when standard conditions for temperature and pressure is stable, is in a configuration of eight atoms grouped together. The canonical example is sulfur, S8, but red selenium is also an octatomic element stable at room temperature.
a) Oxygen: Oxygen is not octaatomic element , oxygen is a diatomic element.
b)Nitrogen: Nitrogen is not octaatomic element , Nitrogen is a diatomic element.
c)Phosphorous: Phosphorous is tetra atomic element.
d)Sulphur: Sulphur is octa atomic .Atomic size of sulphur is bigger. It can not form π – bond together with s – bond between S and S atoms. To satisfied its valency, it forms S8 molecule in which all atoms of sulphur bonded with only σ– bond.
