all elements from group 16 or the chalcogens (oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium)
Burning in common language is the oxidation of a substance. Many materials may burn - carbon, sulphur, phosphorous, silicon, iron, and so on.
Oxygen, Sulphur, Selenium, Tellurium, Polonium, and Livermorium. Have similar chemical properties as they are all in Group VIA (16). However, the last two are radio-active and not found in the open lab.
Gaseous Sulphur Is probably S8 a unit for Rhombic sulphur and Monoclinic sulphur......
it is a device that extracts sulphur from the air they can be found in chimneys
The oxidation number of sulphur in H2S is 2.
Oxidation no of sulphur is +2.
Sulphur has 6 valence electrons. So its maximum oxidation number is +6.
Things are complicated if we use the term valency. It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number. In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4 and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.
6+
sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium belong to the oxygen family.
Sulphur, selenium, tellurium, polonium and Uuh are other members of oxygen family.
+4 for carbon, -2 for each Sulphur
Max Schmidt has written: 'Anorganische Chemie' 'The chemistry of sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium'
Iron sulphide is an ionic compound. The Iron is in a +2 oxidation state and the sulphur is in a -2 oxidation state.
-2 for each O, +6 for S
+1 for each H and -2 for sulphur
