Ans. Sulphur has catenating power. It has
two crystalline allotropes
a.
Monoclinic and
b.
Rhombic
- Monoclinic sulphur is stable between 94.50C and 1200C. This temperature is much higher than the average temperature of the earth’s surface.
- Rhombic sulphur is stable at the temperature below 94.50C. Over a period when monoclinic sulphur is cooled, it is get converted into rhombic sulphur.
