Question

What happens when the solid sulfur is melted

Answer 1

It behaves like rubber.

Step-by-step explanation:

The S8 molecules breaks up and when cooled down long chains molecules are formed which makes sulfur behave like rubber.

Answer 2

The transformation of rhombic sulfur to plastic sulfur is not as simple as that. In the process, black plastic sulfur is not the final form of molten sulfur! ... Sulfur melts at 113-119oC. The melt is very fluid and consists of the exact same molecules as the above-mentioned solid forms.
