Atomic Number: 16

Atomic Weight: 32.065

Melting Point: 388.36 K (115.21°C or 239.38°F)

Boiling Point: 717.75 K (444.60°C or 832.28°F)

Density: 2.067 grams per cubic centimeter

Phase at Room Temperature: Solid

Element Classification: Non-metal

Period Number: 3 Group Number: 16 Group Name: Chalcogen

Its colour, its melting point, its boiling point, whether it is magnetic or not, whether it is an electrical conductor or not and its Atomic Mass are all physical properties.
Light yellow when pure, sometimes amber when stained with hydrocarbons; some slaglike volcanic specimens are reddish from selenium contamination or grayish from arsenic contamination. Luster resinous; hardness 2; specific gravity2.0-2.1; fracture conchoidal; cleavage basal, prismatic, and pyramidal. Brittle; translucent.
At room temperature, sulfur is a soft, bright-yellow solid. Elemental sulfur has only a faint odor, similar to that of matches. The odor associated with rotten eggs is due to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and organic sulfur compounds rather than elemental sulfur.

What are the physical properties of chalcogens?

The chalcogens are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. They don't have much in common as far as physical properties are concerned... for example, oxygen is a gas at room temperature, and the others are all solids.


Why would you expect lithium and sulfur to have different chemical and physical properties?

Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
