The total no of non- bonding electron pairs present in the S8 molecule is SIXTEEN (16).
- A sulphur atom has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
- Each S atom uses two electrons to make single bonds with the two neighbour S atoms and the remaining four electrons (2 pairs) are non-bonded.
- So, each S atom has 2 non-bonding pairs (or lone pairs) of electrons.
- Since there are 8 S atoms in an S8 molecule, so the no of non-bonding electron pairs becomes Sixteen (16).
