Question

why Sulphur S8 is an example of polyatomic elements ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Probably because Sulfur forms single bonds rather than double bonds as an element. It exists as disulfide but as an ion with two negative charges, not as an element. ... Sulfur exists in many allotropic forms. S₈ is the ocagonal crystalline (cyclic or ring) structure with chemical bonds among the atoms.

Answer 2

Meaning of poly is many and as Sulphur has its no. 8 so it is Polyatomic as it has many atoms (8) and isn't named particularly and hence known as Polyatomic element! Hope it helps!
