Electronic Dot Formula

[sugan_gaur]

write the electronic dot formula of sulphur having 8 atoms?

[jomifl]

err. what and why and perhaps even please?

[Graham-W]

If you mean sulphur with 6 electrons:
Two dots like a colon to the left of the S (:S) with two dots like a colon on its side above the S, one dot to the right of the S and one dot below the S.

..
:S.
. Like that.

I think he may mean S in an 8 member end chain (sulfur allotrope)

[Ianfiat]

Sorry meant S8 rings rather than chains

Liquid sulphur, at 120 Celsius, is composed of puckered rings made up of eight covalently bonded sulphur atoms.
