Question

What are the different allotropes of sulphur?

Answer 1

Allotropes of Sulphur. Sulfur exists in various structures (in the same physical state). There are two critical crystalline structures - rhombic or octahedral (α - sulfur), and monoclinic sulfur (β - sulfur). Note: one imperative distinction between these two types of crystalline sulfur is temperature.

Answer 2

Allotropes of Sulphur and Sulphur Dioxide

• 1.1 (i) Rhombic sulphur or α-Sulphur.
• 1.2 (ii) Monoclinic sulphur or β-Sulphur.
• 1.3 (iii) Plastic sulphur or δ-sulphur.
