What else can I help you with?
Is S8 a element a compound or a homogenous mixture or a heterogeneous?
it s an element
Would you expect to the formula S8 to represent a compound to an element?
S8 is the symbol of an allotrope of sulfur, a chemical element - not a compound.
Is S8 an element a mixture or a compound?
S8 is more of an element than a compound. An element is only itself, and that sort of fits the bill, and a compound is something made of two or more elements, but 'molecule' would better fit the definition of that.
Is sulfur S8 a compound?
Yes, H2O2 is the compound hydrogen peroxide
What is the oxidation number in S in S8?
The oxidation number of S in S8 is 0. Each sulfur atom in S8 has an oxidation number of 0 because it is in its elemental form and not bonded to any other element.
Is sulfur a discrete molecule?
Yes! In its elemental form, its formula is S8
Would you expect the formula S8 to represent a compound to an element?
It is the formula of the allotrope of sulfur; it is considered a compound by some chemists.
What is the charge of s8 element?
The charge of the element S8 is neutral. Each atom of sulfur has 16 electrons, arranged in 2, 8, and 6 electrons in its electron shells. However, when sulfur forms compounds, it can have different charges depending on the nature of the reaction.
What type of reaction is S8 plus 12O2 8 SO3?
This is a Composition Reaction (also known as Formation Reaction).... element + element ------> compound
Why is sulphur written as S in chemical equations and not S8?
Sulfur is written as S in chemical equations to represent the individual sulfur atoms, not the elemental form S8. Using S8 would imply that sulfur exists as a molecule in the reaction, which is not the case in most chemical reactions. Sulfur typically exists as S8 molecules in its elemental form, but in reactions, it is considered as individual atoms for simplicity.
Is sulfur a pure compound?
It is a pure element, though if you are talking about sulfur in its natural form (S8), then yes it is a pure compound.
Is S8 an elemental formula?
No, "S8" is not an elemental formula. It refers to a molecule of sulfur made up of 8 sulfur atoms bonded together in a ring structure. Sulfur is a chemical element represented by the symbol "S" on the periodic table.
