Write the atomicity of the following:
$(i)$ Sulphur molecule
$(ii)$ Phosphorus molecule
$(i)$ Sulphur molecule
$(ii)$ Phosphorus molecule
(N/A) Atomicity is defined as the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element.
$(i)$ The chemical formula of a sulphur molecule is $S_{8}$. Since it contains $8$ atoms of sulphur,its atomicity is $8$ (Polyatomic).
$(ii)$ The chemical formula of a phosphorus molecule is $P_{4}$. Since it contains $4$ atoms of phosphorus,its atomicity is $4$ (Tetraatomic).
