(N/A) sulphur molecule consists of eight atoms of sulphur $(S_8)$ joined together in a puckered ring structure.
Each sulphur atom has $6$ valence electrons and requires $2$ more electrons to complete its octet.
Therefore,each sulphur atom forms two single covalent bonds with two adjacent sulphur atoms.
The electron dot structure shows each sulphur atom sharing two electrons with its neighbors,resulting in a crown-shaped ring.
