Rhombic Sulphur and Monoclinic Sulphur



Rhombic Sulphur
Monoclinic Sulphur
1.     The crystals of rhombic sulphur are rhombic.
2.     It is the most stable allotrope of sulphur at normal temperature.
3.     It is opaque. (non – transparent)
4.     It is converted into monoclinic sulphur when heated above 94.50C.


1.     The crystals of monoclinic sulphur are monoclinic or needle shaped.
2.     It is stable only above 94.50C
3.     It is Transparent.
4.     AT temperature lower than 94.50C, it is slowly converted into rhombic sulphur.
