Question

What are the allotropes of sulfur?

Answer 1

allotropes of sulfur refers to the many allotropes of the element sulfur. In terms of large number of allotropes, sulfur is second only to carbon.

Answer 2

The element sulfur exists as many allotropes. In terms of large number of allotropes, sulfur is second only to carbon.In addition to the allotropes, each allotrope often exists in polymorphs, delineated by Greek prefixes (α, β, etc.)

its various forms are given traditional names. Some forms have been named for their appearance, e.g. "mother of pearl sulfur", or alternatively named for a chemist who was pre-eminent in identifying them, e.g. "Muthmann's sulfur I" or "Engel's sulfur"

The most commonly encountered form of sulfur is the orthorhombic polymorph of S
8, which adopts a puckered ring – or "crown" – structure. Two other polymorphs are known, also with nearly identical molecular structures.In addition to S8, sulfur rings of 6, 7, 9–15, 18 and 20 atoms are known.At least five allotropes are uniquely formed at high pressures, two of which are metallic.

The number of sulfur allotropes reflects the relatively strong S−S bond of 265 kJ/mol.
