When sulphur is heated in a boiling tube in the absence of air, the yellow crystals melts into a golden yellow mobile liquid at
113°C. The liquid changes at 180°C into a dark brown liquid that is very viscous. More heating at 400°C produces a brown
less viscous liquid.
a) Draw the molecular structure of sulphur in the yellow liquid.
b) Explain why the molten liquid becomes viscous.
