Key Features of Insoluble Sulfur

• Sulfur consists of three forms called orthorhombic crystalline sulfur, monoclinic sulfur and indeterminate sulfur.
• Insoluble sulfur belongs to the indeterminate m sulfur groups.
• Ordinary sulfur is an orthorhombic crystalline with a ring-form molecular structure.
• It is soluble in non-ollar solvents such as hydrocarbons and carbon disulfide.
• On the contrary, insoluble sulfur has the ring structure cleaved to give a straight chain with the result that it does not dissolve in the above mentioned solvents.
