glassy or pearly
Sulfur in its crystalline form usually has a resinous luster, meaning it looks similar to tree resin. "massive" sulfur frequently has an earthy luster, meaning that it looks similar to soil
yes it does
"Luster" is a term used to characterize a mineral(Reflection of a light). Sulfur Lustre or luster is Adamantine on on crystal faces,glimmering on fracture surfaces!
No. Sulfur is a yellow, non-lustrous non-metal. It forms large yellow crystals, which can easily be broken down into yellow powder. When combined with oxygen, especially during combustion, it forms sulfur dioxide. Sulfur often smells like rotten eggs, as do its thiol (sulfur-hydrogen) compounds, which are often formed when bacteria break down sulfur-contain substances, such as proteins.
Nonmetals typically do not have a luster. They have properties like dullness, low conductivity of heat and electricity, and fragility. Common examples of nonmetals include sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
The distinctive yellow color of sulfur comes from its molecular structure, which absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. This absorption and reflection process results in the yellow appearance of solid sulfur.
Yes, both nitrogen and sulfur are nonmetals. Nonmetals are elements that lack metallic properties such as conducting electricity, luster, and malleability. Nitrogen and sulfur are both found on the right side of the periodic table, which is where nonmetals are located.
Yes, sulfur is a nonmetal. It is positioned in the nonmetal group on the periodic table due to its properties such as being a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and not having metallic luster.
Silver is more metallic than sulfur. Silver is a transition metal with high electrical conductivity and luster, while sulfur is a non-metal with a brittle texture and is not typically metallic in its physical properties.
Yes, sulfur is a nonmetal element. It is located in group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen family. Nonmetals generally lack metallic properties such as luster and conductivity.
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)
Elements that are very brittle and have no metallic luster are typically classified as nonmetals. Examples include sulfur, phosphorus, and carbon (in the form of graphite). These elements tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity.
