Want this question answered?
Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
The name and physical properties of a particular elemant is determined by Isotope
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
Shiny and silvery are not chemical properties. These are physical properties.
Selenium, the element immediately below sulfur in the same column of a wide form periodic table. (The element immediately above sulfur in the same column, oxygen, is the lightest element in the column, and these lightest elements in a column of main group elements often have chemical properties somewhat different from all the other elements in the column. Sulfur, for example, has a much lower electronegativity than oxygen, while the difference between electronegativities of selenium and sulfur is much less.)
Neither. Sulfur is an element by it self , that has its own physical and chemical properties.
sulfur
Selenium.
Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
Sulfur is an element that has both extensive and intensive properties.
Color, smell, state of matter. For example: sulfur (element #16) is yellow, smells like rotten eggs, and is a solid.
The last answer here was wrong by the way. Oxygen and sulfur aren't alike.
Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.
The name and physical properties of a particular elemant is determined by Isotope
Yes, each element has specific physical properties.
the color
The properties of nonmetals also tend to vary more from and element to element than do the properties of the metals
