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.
it s an element
S8 is the symbol of an allotrope of sulfur, a chemical element - not 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.
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.
It is the formula of the allotrope of sulfur; it is considered a compound by some chemists.

Yes, H2O2 is the compound hydrogen peroxide
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.
Yes! In its elemental form, its formula is S8
It is the formula of the allotrope of sulfur; it is considered a compound by some chemists.
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.
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.
Oxidation number is a concept that refers to atoms not molecules. The oxidation number of S in S8 is zero. The oxidation number of an atom in the pure element is always 0. S8 is a form of sulfur, the most commonly encountered , there are many other forms (allotropes). The oxidation number of S in any of its allotrpes is zero.
One example is the water molecule, H2O, which contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Another example is the ammonia molecule, NH3, which contains nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Both of these molecules are polyatomic molecules with atoms of different elements.
