Plastic Sulfur - 4 of 5
When the liquid is heated further, to 200 degrees Celsius, it becomes less viscous and again is able to flow. This is due to breaking of more S-S bonds to form shorter chains, which can move past each other more readily. Eventually, when the liquid is heated to 445 degrees Celsius, it begins to boil. The vapor ignites and there is a blue flame above the beaker. Now the liquid sulfur is poured out into a beaker of water..
