Best Answer

It is difficult to shape solid objects out of sulphur, which occurs as small crystals. It melts at quite a low temperature - the exact value depends on the allotrope - so wuld not be much use for cooking. It is also combustible and forms sulphur dioxide with its characteristic suffocating smell. Not something you would want in your food!

Why is iron bromide not magnetic?

Electrons in orbit around an atomic nucleus usually come in pairs, having opposite spin and hence having magnetic poles pointing in opposite directions, resulting in no net magnetism for the atom. Elemental iron has unpaired electrons making it magnetic. When the iron combines with sulphur, electrons from the iron atoms pair with those of sulphur atoms.
