Plastic sulphur is an amorphous form of sulphur when liquid (molten) sulphur is poured in ice water the immediate freezing of material is responsible for irregular arrangement of atoms but a coils like structure is formed. The coiling and uncoiling of the structure is responsible foe stretching or elastic nature of sulphur.

What is amorphous sulphur?
when molten sulphur heated upto boiling and then poured into cold ice water then it turns elastic rubber like material which is called plastic sulphur or amorphous sulphur
Plastic but not elastic?
This question does not make sense! In blood chemistry (biochem), erythrocytes' capsule is plastic but not elastic. Plastic = Able to change shape Elastic = Stretchable In this case, erythrocyte can be easily squeezed through narrow capillaries, by changing it's shape and they can maintain so until they went through the capillaries. They are NOT elastic, as they will rupture when they're stretched.
What is internal plastic flow?
Until a metal reaches its elastic limit, it is undergoing elastic deformation. This means that the metal will regain its original dimensions when unloaded. Upon exceeding the elastic limit, the metal will become plastic and will not regain its original dimensions. A metal undergoes plastic flow when it experiences large deformations while loaded in the plastic region.
How do you get sulfur?
Sulphur is an important non-metallic yellow element. At ordinary temperature it exists as a solid. It melts at 119deg.c and boils at 444deg.c. It does not dissolve in water but does so in carbon disulphide. Its atomic number is 16 and relative density is 2.Sulphur is found in different forms. These are called allotropes of sulphur. Its three important allotropic forms are: rhombic sulphur, monoclinic sulphur, and plastic sulphur. The common form is called rhombic sulphur. It is made up of eightsided yellow crystals.When it is heated to more than 950deg.c, it changes into monoclinic sulphur. when the molten sulphur. When the molten sulphur is pored into cold water, it changes into plastic sulphur. Another allotrope is called flowers of sulphur. It is a yellow powder and is made by quickly cooling sulphur vapour.Large deposits of sulphur are found beneath the earth in several layers, especially in the United States. It is mined by a method called the Frasch process. This method was developed by Herman Frasch in 1891. employing this method ,three coaxial pipes of different diameters are inserted into the earth upto the sulphur bed. superheated water,at 170deg.c, is pumped down the outer pipe and compressed air is pumped down the central pipe . The sulphur is melted by the hot water and forced up by compressed air. The melted sulphur comes up through the middle pipe. It is collected in big wooden vats. Sulphur obtained by this process is 99.5% pure. Sulphur also occurs in nature as hydrogen sulphide gas, calcium sulphate and as sulphides.Sulphur is a reactive element.It burns in the air with a blue flame to form sulphur dioxide. This gas pollutes the air. Sulphur trioxide is another oxide of sulphur which dissolves in water and forms sulphuric acid.Most sulphur is used to make sulphuric acid. It is of great industrial importance. Sulphur is used in making wood pulp and for vulcanizing rubber. It is also used to make wide range of products like drugs, dyes and chemicals to kill insects and moulds. It is also used in manufacture of gun-powder and matches.
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
oxygen
