As we learnt

Catenation of oxygen family

Sulphur  has highest catenation tendency among the elements of Group 16 and it forms chains of Sulphur atoms and also ring structures like \mathrm{S _{8}}

\mathrm{S-S} bond is stronger than \mathrm{O-O} bond and the catenation tendency decreases down the group
