One of the allotropes of sulfur is a ring of eight sulfur atoms. Draw the Lewis structure

Question:

One of the allotropes of sulfur is a ring of eight sulfur atoms. Draw the Lewis structure for the S8 ring. Is the ring likely to be planar? The S8 ring can be oxidized to produce S8O. In S8O, the oxygen atom is bonded to one of the S atoms and the S8 ring is still intact. Draw the Lewis structure for S8O.
