Sulfur
Physical and chemical properties:
Sulfur is classified as an odourless, tasteless, soft, light yellow solid. It is insoluble in water, but is soluble in carbon disulfide.
Sulfur is very reactive; it reacts with all metals except gold and platnium, forming sulfides. It also forms compounds with various non-metallic elements.
Sulfur forms over 30 solid allotropes.
Sulfur is a chalogen (group 16 of the periodic table) and a non metal.
Sulfur's atomic weight is 32.06. It has 16 electrons, protons and it's neutrons in it's isotope is 16. It has a melting point of 115.2*C, and a boiling point of 444.7*C.
Name:
The name Sulfur is derived either from the Sanskrit 'sulvere' or the Latin 'sulfurium;. Its existance dates back to ancient times.
