It turns out that sulfur is present in all the cells of the body. It is a necessary trace element, and without it, we die. That means sulfur is good. Additionally, it is produced (mined) and used on an industrial scale, mostly to make sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the consumption of which by a nation is a direct indicator to the development of that nation. Without it, industry grinds to a halt. Along with a host of useful substances, sulfur does form some toxic or poisonous compounds, but so do other necessary elements. Wikipedia has more information on this amazing nonmetal, and you'll find a link to that post below.
Sulfur is a good insulator because it is a poor conductor of electricity due to its molecular structure. The covalent bonds between sulfur atoms do not allow for the easy flow of electrons, which is necessary for conducting electricity. Additionally, sulfur is often used in insulating materials because of its high resistance to heat and ability to maintain its properties over a wide range of temperatures.
electricity! Because it is a non-metal
Sulfur in the atmosphere can combine with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, a harmful gas that contributes to air pollution and acid rain. This can have negative impacts on human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure.
fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide when burned because sulfur is present in them. things like coal which is carbon or gas which is a hydrocarbon are examples of this. fossil fuels are bad because sulfur dioxide causes acid rain. hope this helps :)
Sulfur. Arsenic may have a garlic smell.
it has a bad clevage.thank you.astalavista baby
Sulfur is a nonmetal. Nonmetals are bad conductors, while metals are good conductors. Since sulfur is a bad conductors, it is a good insulator.
The resistivity of Sulfur at 20° C is about 2 x 1015 ohm-meter. It's up to you to decide whether you call that 'good' or 'bad'.

Sulfur trioxide is a byproduct of sulfuric acid. In large quantities, sulfur trioxide can be deadly. For the most part, small quantities of sulfur trioxide will not hurt you.

Acid rain, which is precipitation containing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, is bad. It is harmful to plants, animals, and bodies of water.
Sulfur is a non-metal and non metals are poor conductors.Sulfur is an insulator.So pretty much Sulfur is a bad conductor.(Hope it anwsered your question)
Polysulfide rubber contains sulfur compounds that can release hydrogen sulfide gas, which has a strong and unpleasant odor. This odor is more noticeable in uncured or partially cured polysulfide rubber where the sulfur compounds are still reacting and producing gas.
Sulfur does. It appears in the form of a compound with oxygen: sulfur dioxide.
Yes, sulfur has a strong and unpleasant smell often described as rotten eggs.
it bad
