Why isn't Sulphur a diatomic molecule?

Since sulfur is positioned directly under oxygen in the periodic table, one might suspect relatively simple behavior at the atomic level. This is certainly not the case! Indeed, Jerry Donohue, in his authoritative treatise, "The Structures of the Elements," argues, "Of all of the elements, sulfur presents the most confusion and complexity in this respect."

Unlike sulfur's near neighbors, such as N, O, Cl, and Br, or P, As, Se, and Te, which in elemental form exist respectively as diatomic molecules or take on polymorphic networks, the four isotopes of sulfur 32S (95.1%), 33S (0.74%), 34S (4.2%), and 36S (0.016%) combine to form a uniquely large number of allotropic forms (compare Sn, where n = 1–12, 18, and infinity). Of these, only eight have been characterized crystallographically. The most common form, stable at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, is orthorhombic sulfur (S8).

Here, eight sulfur atoms bond covalently in crownlike rings. This allotrope, also known as ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
