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.
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.
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.
The intermolecular force of octasulfur (S8) is dispersion forces. Sulfur molecules are nonpolar, so the only force of attraction between them is due to temporary dipoles induced by momentary fluctuations in electron distribution.
S8 is the symbol of an allotrope of sulfur, a chemical element - not a compound.
When heating steel wool (Fe) with S8, the ionic equation can be represented as Fe(s) + S8(s) -> FeS(s), where iron reacts with sulfur to form iron sulfide.
S8, or elemental sulfur, is not soluble in water. It is a nonpolar molecule, which means it does not interact favorably with polar water molecules. Instead, sulfur is more soluble in nonpolar organic solvents.

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?

Type of reaction for S8 + O2

The oxidation number of S in S8 is ZERO!
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between silver and sulfur (S8) to form silver sulfide (Ag2S) is 8Ag + S8 -> 8Ag2S.
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.
- 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)
The 2014 Audi S8 has a V8 engine.
