The chemical symbol of sulfur in equations is S. However, the real chemical formula is S8, so basically 8 atoms of sulfur react to become one molecule. S8 has a crown shape with three spikes on top and two spikes on the bottom. It is too much a bother to write S8 and balance it so we write S in equations.
