This is thanks to sulfur’s ability to form more than 30 allotropes, or different forms in the same physical state, and to the wide range of chemical reactions it participates in — there’s a ...

Sulfur molecules come in many forms called allotropes, from S 2 up to S 8. The subscript indicates the number of S atoms in the allotrope. We are proposing here a new pathway to S 2 formation.
