Why there is huge difference in M.P. and B.P. Of Oxygen (M.P. - 54K,B.P.- 90K) and sulphur (M.P. - 393 K, B.P. - 718 K)

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the significant differences between the melting point (M.P.) and boiling point (B.P.) of Oxygen and Sulfur. Oxygen has a melting point of 54K and a boiling point of 90K, while Sulfur has a melting point of 393K and a boiling point of 718K. The disparity in these values is attributed to the molecular structure and intermolecular forces present in each element. The term "polymorphism" is suggested as a relevant concept for understanding these differences.
