It is insoluble in water and carbon disulphide. Its density is 2.07 gm cm-3 and exists as S8 molecules. The 8 sulphur atoms in S8­ molecule forms a puckered ring.




Monoclinic Sulphur :



Stable only above 369 K. It is dull yellow coloured solid, also called b - sulphur. It is soluble in CS2 but insoluble in H2O.


It slowly changes into rhombic sulphur. It also exist as S8 molecules which have puckered ring structure. It however, differs from the rhombic sulphur in the symmetry of the crystals




Plastic Sulphur: 





It is obtained by pouring molten sulphur to cold water.


It is amorphous form of sulphur.


It is insoluble in water as well as CS2.




Sulphuric Acid:


 Due to strong affinity for water, H2SO4 acts as a powerful dehydrating agent. 
Concentrated H2SO4 reacts with sugar, wood, paper etc to form black mass of carbon. This phenomenon is called charring.
It is moderately strong oxidizing agent. 

Decomposes carbonates, bicarbonates, sulphides, sulphites, thiosulphates and nitrites at room temperatures.

Salts like chlorides, fluorides, nitrates, acetates, oxalates are decomposed by hot conc. H2SO4 liberating their corresponding acids.
