Answer:
Symbol : S
molecule : S₈
Explanation:
The symbol of an element is just the representation with few alphabets (one or two) with no digit as we don't represent it for an atom or molecule. Just a symbol.
So for example
Symbol for Helium is He
Symbol for hydrogen is H
Symbol for sulfur is S
However the sulfur in nature exist as a molecule with eight atoms of sulfur.
Thus the elemental form of sulfur is an eight atomic molecule
The forms is represented as S₈.
Answer:
Elements are composed by one single atom and molecules are composed by two or more atoms of the same element.
Explanation:
Hello,
At first, we must consider that elements are composed by one single atom and molecules are composed by two or more atoms of the same element. In such a way if we bring to bear sulfur whose symbol is [tex]S[/tex] we're just identifying there is only one atom. On the contrary, a typical sulfur molecule, [tex]S_8[/tex] contains eight equal sulfur atoms.
Best regards.
