No, elemental sulfur (S) is not acidic, mainly because it is insoluble with water.
However both sulfur oxides: SO2 and SO3 are acid forming oxides (weak and strong respectively), like most nonmetal oxides are in nature.
NO!!!
It is an element.
However, when combined with oxygen it then forms acidic gases SO2, and SO3 .
no, but there is a sulfuric acid, H2SO4.
No, it is acidic
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
At STP sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. It readily combines with water to form 'sulphurous acid (H2SO3) . Note the name and formula.
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
Sulfur
acidic
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
No, it is acidic
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water the give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.
We had a laboratory activity in our class and we burnt sulfur, then we placed blue and red litmus papers which are indicators to know if a substance is acidic or basic, the blue litmus paper turned red therefore the product of burning sulfur powder is acidic
Sulfur tends to burn, forming sulfur dioxide, which combines with water to form sulfuric acid, so in practice, sulfur leads to acidity. But it is not in itself an acid.

Sulfur
Burning sulfur in air sulfur dioxide is formed; this gas dissolved in water form an acidic solution.
