At room temperature, it has a puckered, eight-atom molecule, which melts into a straw-colored fluid.

At room temperature, it has a puckered, eight-atom molecule, which melts into a straw-colored fluid. At still higher temperatures, the rings break, forming long molecules that become entangled, as the increasingly viscous solution turns dark reddish brown, decreasing in viscosity as the chains break. Isolated through the Frasch process—for 10 points—name this element, a yellow solid, in Group 6A or 16.
