If you sketch the molecular structure of an S_8 molecule you will clearly see that there are no dipoles. Also, more importantly, there is no difference in the electronegative values for the same element..

I hope this answered your question.

No, S8 is a nonpolar molecule because it consists of sulfur atoms bonded in a symmetrical arrangement, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and no overall dipole moment.

why is it that sulfur is is insoluble in water?

Sulfur exists as S8. S8 is 8 sulfur atoms covalently bonded in a ring. Each S atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The entire molecule is nonpolar. "Like dissolves like" so water which is polar will not dissolve S8 which is nonpolar. S8 dissolve in liquids like toluene, which is also nonpolar. http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Sulfur_Lump-9925144 How about baking soda?


What is the molecular polarity for s8?

S8 is a nonpolar molecule because it is symmetrical with identical sulfur atoms surrounding the central S-S bond, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and no separation of charge.


Is sulfur a non polar covalent molecule?

Sulfur itself is an element and exists as S8, which is a nonpolar molecule due to its symmetrical shape and equal sharing of electrons in the sulfur-sulfur bonds.


How many atoms are present in 0.525 moles of S8?

- Conversion factor needed = (6.022*1023 molecules S8 / 1 mole S8) and (8 atoms S / 1 molecule S8) calculate: 0.525 mol*(6.022 *10^23 molecules S8 / 1 mole S8) * (8 atoms S / 1 molecule S8) = 2.529... = 2.53 x 1024 atoms of S8 (3 Sig figs)
