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.

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?
Why does sulfur exists as S8?

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)
