No. Sulfur is flammable, meaning it will react fairly easily with oxygen among other things.

Is sulfur outer most shell stable?

No, sulfur has only 6 valence electrons. Atoms with 8 valence electrons are most stable and generally chemically inert.


Is inert gas a family on the periodic table?

Yes, inert gases are part of the peiodic table. List of Inert Gases Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) Radon (Rn) Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) Nitrogen (N2)


What elements is the most electronegative Argon Chlorine Phosphorus or Sulfur?

The most electronegative element among Argon, Chlorine, Phosphorus, and Sulfur is Chlorine. Chlorine is more electronegative than Phosphorus and Sulfur and Argon is an inert noble gas with very low electronegativity.


What is the chemical formula for sublimed sulfur?

Sublimed sulfur is often called flowers of sulfur. This is cyclic ring, S8 allotrope. Note that the sublimation is not what is normally meant as a transition from solid to gas. This is the precipitation of sulfur vapour in an inert atmosphere- its called sublimation but technially its deposition.


How many valence electrons im sulfur?

Sulfur usually has a valence of 2 as in H2S). But in some compounds, it has a valence of four (as in the highly reactive compound SF4) or even six (as in SF6, which is one of the most inert chemical compounds known).


Does sulfur and Helium have similar chemical properties?

No, sulfur and helium have very different chemical properties. Sulfur is a nonmetal that reacts with other elements to form compounds, while helium is a noble gas that is inert and rarely forms compounds with other elements.


What is nitrogen and?

Nitrogen is a common nonmetallic element that is normally a colorless, odorless, tasteless inert diatomic gas. Sulfur is an abundant tasteless odorless multivalent nonmetallic element.


Why sulfur hexaflouride is used in Gas Insulated Substation?

SF6 is used in circuit breakers to help extinguish the arc when deenergizing parts of the system. It is a dense inert gas that will deionize the are.


Which of these elements does not bond to form molecules oxygen chlorine neon sulfur?

Neon does not bond to form molecules. Neon is an inert gas with a full valence shell, making it highly stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur are all capable of forming molecules by sharing electrons with other atoms.


Does sulfur and argon have similar chemical properties?

Sulfur and argon do not have similar chemical properties. Sulfur is a reactive nonmetal that readily forms compounds, while argon is an inert gas that is very stable and does not easily react with other elements. Argon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, while sulfur is a nonmetal that can gain electrons to achieve a stable configuration.


Is chlorine more reactive than sulfur?

Yes, chlorine is more reactive than sulfur. Chlorine is in Group 17 of the periodic table, making it a halogen with a high reactivity towards other elements. Sulfur is in Group 16 and is generally less reactive than chlorine.
