What would be the Electron Dot Structure of a Molecule of Sulfur Which is Made up of Eight Atoms of Sulfur Hint – The Eight Atoms of Sulfur are Joined together in the Form of a Ring

Answer: The atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic configuration is 2,8,6. 

The sulfur atom has six valence electrons. S8 is the chemical formula for a sulfur molecule, and each sulfur atom is bonded to identical atoms on each side by single covalent connections, completing its octet.
