What is the type of atomicity of Sulfur ? Correct Answer Poly-atomic 

The correct answer is Option(4).i.e.Poly-atomic.  

  • Atomicity: 
    • the present number of atoms in any molecule of an element is called its atomicity.
    • For example, oxygen is diatomic & helium is monoatomic. 
  • Types of Atomicity: 
    • Monoatomic – when an element consists of a single atom. Example – all kinds of metals in nature.
    • Diatomic – The element which consists of two atoms. Example – all types of gases.
    • Triatomic – The element which consists of three atoms.
    • Tetra-atomic – The element, consists of four atoms.
    • Poly-atomic – The element consists of more than two atoms. 
  • The following table shows the Atomicity of some Elements.

Consider the following grammar (that admits a series of declarations, followed by expressions) and the associated syntax directed translation (SDT) actions, given as pseudo-code: P → D* E* D → int ID {record that ID.lexeme is of type int} D → bool ID { record that ID.lexeme is of type bool} E → E1 + E2 {check that E1.type = E2.type = int; set E.type := int} E → !E1 {check that E1.type = bool; set E.type := bool} E → ID {set E.type := int} With respect to the above grammar; which one of the following choices is correct?
