Is sulfur a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Sulfur is generally not a good conductor of heat and electricity, if it is the atom itself you are talking about. If Sulfur is present in an ionic compound, (example: Copper Sulfide, Lead Sulfide), then this compound will conduct electricity in only the MOLTEN state. Also, if Sulfur is in a polyatomic ion (example: Sulfate) and this polyatomic ion forms an ionic compound with another metal, in an aqueous solution, then it will conduct electricity. Remember, ionic compounds only conduct in the MOLTEN/LIQUID state. Glad to help, regards
Is sulfur an electrolyte?
No, elemental sulfur does not conduct electricity and is not an electrolyte.
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
Why sulfur cannot be used to make wires?
As a nonmetal it does not conduct electricity and is not ductile.
Can sulphur dioxide conduct electricity if molten?
Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature.

No, elemental sulfur does not conduct electricity and is not an electrolyte.
Does sulfur conduct heat and electricity?
Yes It Does.
Why sulphur does not conduct electricity?
The chemical structure of Sulfur would prevent the conduction of electricity.
Why molten sulfur can't conduct electricity but molten copper chloride can?
The element copper can conduct electricity. These are two completely different chemical substances.
How can you alter sulfur to make it conduct electricity?
no because it is not a metal and is not electro-positive.
Why sulfur cannot be used to make wires?
As a nonmetal it does not conduct electricity and is not ductile.
What properties of a compound would lead you to expect that it contains ionic bonds?
The most definitive test would be the ability of the liquid phase of the compound to conduct electricity easily. (The ability of an aqueous solution of the compound to conduct electricity would be less reliable, because many covalently bonded compounds, such as the hydrohalogens and the oxides of sulfur, ionize spontaneously when dissolved in water.) Another indicator of ionic bonding would be a high melting point temperature for the compound.
Can sulphur dioxide conduct electricity if molten?
Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature.
What element is pale yellow brittle solid and does not conduct electricity?
sulphur
What happens in a positive test for sulfur dioxide?
The aqueous acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution turns from orange to green.
Is sulfur a sulfur a metal or non metal?
It is not metallic because it does not have a shiny luster, does not conduct electricity, and is not malleable. (you can't bent it like tin foil)
