Is sulfur man made?

Sulfur is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth's crust, and it is not man-made. However, sulfur can also be produced through industrial processes such as refining petroleum and processing natural gas.


What is the difference between inorganic sulfur and organic sulfur?

Sulfur also referred to as Brimstone is the result of volcanic activity in the air or in fresh water, yellow dirt. Organic sulfur is when volcanic magma encounter salt water, the black smokers deep in the ocean are the source for this sulfur which feeds the aquatic food chain by providing the food for Plankton, free sulfur. Yellow dirt is deadly to air breathers, organic sulfur is as toxic as water but deficient from every man woman child and puppy dog on the planet. May Friedrich Bayer and J. D. Rockefeller burn in hell for the chemical fertilizers which broke the sulfur cycle to man and the Planet. The Cellular Matrix Study of organic sulfur is on going with currently has 150,000 study members in 39 countries who no longer complain about all the modern diseases. All of the modern diseases Linus Pauling said were the result of a mineral deficiency; sulfur is that mineral and organic sulfur addresses that deficiency, quite nicely, or our study members are bold face liars. organicsulfur@sisna.com is the Cellular Matrix Study


What is radiums group?

Radium is a member of Group 2 on the periodic table, known as the alkaline earth metals group. This group includes elements such as beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium. Radium is a highly reactive metal that is radioactive.


Who was Henning Brand?

Henning Brand was a German alchemist who discovered the element phosphorus in 1669 by distilling human urine. His discovery was significant as it led to the identification of a new element and contributed to the development of chemistry.


Where in the world was Sulfur discovered?

Sulfur was known to ancients many centuries B.C.E. and they had different names for it. It's given name comes from the Latin. Antoine Lavoisier was the man who, in 1777, helped convince the scientific community that sulfur was not a compound as was thought, but was actually an element.Wikipedia has more information, and a link to their post can be found below.Sulfur has historical reference that dates back to our earliest records. So let's assume it was "Og the caveman".uibp;

The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?

The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.


How many proton and electrons and neutrons are there for carbon?

A carbon atom always contains six protons. In nature, carbon most commonly has six (12C, carbon-12), seven (13C, carbon-13) or eight (14C, carbon-14) neutrons. However, man-made isotopes of carbon contain as few as two neutrons (8C) or as many as sixteen (22C). Thirteen of the fifteen isotopes of Carbon (i.e. all except 12C and 13C) are radioactive. In addition to neutrons and protons, a carbon atom always has six electrons in orbits around the nucleus.


What do all sodium isotopes have in common and how do they difference?

If an atom has 16 electrons how many are in the third level?

16 ... if it's not ionized. A neutral atom would have 16 electrons, one negative charged electron for each positive charged proton. Now an atom does not have to be neutral, it can have more or less electrons, which is called an ion. 16 Protons would make this a Sulfur atom, which is going to try to aquire 2 more electrons to have a complete orbital shell.


Is the atom the smallest possible object?

at the moment, the smallest thing in the universe known to man is the neutrino, with a mass of less than 0. this is the opposite of an electron. electrons are one of the three main things that make up atoms.


How can you find the number of protons and electrons and neutrons in potassium?

PotassiumThe number of protons in an atom will always be the same as the atomic number, by which the periodic table is organized. So figuring out how many protons an atom has just becomes an exercise at reading the table. In this case, potassium has an atomic number of 19. If the particle is specifically an atom, then it will be neutral and the number of electrons will balance the number of protons exactly, 19 also. The number of neutrons will differ depending on the isotope - atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Potassium has three isotopes, the most common in nature being 39K with 22 neutrons.See the related question below which gives instructions on how to find the number of subatomic particles in an atom or ion based on given information.


How man protons does an element have to have to make it radioactive?

An element can be radioactive regardless of its number of protons. Radioactivity depends on the specific isotopes of an element, which can have different numbers of neutrons. Elements with unstable isotopes that undergo radioactive decay typically have too few or too many neutrons compared to the number of protons.
