Question

Why plastic sulphur is elastic?

Answer 1

plastic sulphur is an amorphous form of sulphur.when liquid sulphur poured in ice water the immediate the freezing of mineral responsible for irregular.......coil like structure is formed which make sulphur elastic

Answer 2

Explanation:

When we boil sulphur and pour it into cold water then it results in formation of long chains of sulphur atoms.

This is because the immediate freezing of mineral results in irregular and coil like structure which makes sulphur elastic in nature.

Also, it is known that amorphous form of sulphur is plastic sulphur.
