Q: What does the stable form of sulfur at room temperature contain?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Larger amounts of sulfur also come from hydrogen sulfide recovered during the purification of natural gas. Sulfur exists in several allotropic forms. The stable form at room temperature contains eight-membered rings, and so the true formula is S8. However, chemists commonly use S to simplify the coefficients in chemical equations; we will follow this practice in this book.

 Choices:

- six - membered rings

- four - membered rings

- electron shell

- eight-membered rings


A:
eight-membered rings
