The sulfur atom in an S8 ring has a much larger atomic radius compared to carbon atoms in a benzene ring, resulting in greater steric hindrance. This leads to the S8 ring adopting a non-planar crown conformation to minimize repulsive interactions between the sulfur atoms.

What is the difference between planar and non planar surface?

flat & non-flat


Is there a fundamental difference between planar and non-planar structures in chemistry?

Yes, there is a fundamental difference between planar and non-planar structures in chemistry. Planar structures are flat and all atoms lie in the same plane, while non-planar structures have atoms that are not all in the same plane. This difference affects the geometry and properties of molecules.


Is S8 a metal or non-metal?

'S8' is an allotrope of sulphur. It is a non metal. It is yellow coloured, archaically known as 'Flowers of Sulphur'.


What does non planar mean?

not on the same plane, or flat surface. Most of the planets are in the same plane, but Pluto is on an angle so it is non-planar


What are the unique properties of a planar molecule and how do they differ from non-planar molecules?

Planar molecules have all their atoms in the same plane, giving them a flat shape. This allows for easier stacking and stronger intermolecular forces. Non-planar molecules have atoms in different planes, leading to less efficient packing and weaker intermolecular forces.


What are non-coplanar lines called?

Non co-planar lines are lines that do not lie in the same plane.


What is the Electronic geometry of Benzene?

The electronic geometry of benzene is trigonal planar. This is because benzene has a hexagonal ring structure with alternating double bonds. Each carbon atom in the ring is sp2 hybridized, leading to a trigonal planar arrangement around each carbon atom.


What is the minimum number of edges for a non planar graph?

Probably means 3 (as in 3dimensional).(Bad terminology on maths' part it means a non-2d graph but 3d is still planar, just in 3 different dimensions)


Are hydrocarbons planar?

Not necessarily. Hydrocarbons can exist in various conformations, including planar and non-planar structures. The geometry of a hydrocarbon molecule depends on the number and arrangement of its carbon-carbon bonds.


Aromatic compounds contain what kind of ring?

Aromatic compounds contain a benzene ring or any other planar ring system with delocalized pi electrons that follows Hückel's rule.
