Sulfur is a non metal with allotropes which all contain covalent bonds. The simple answer is that when electrons are easy to lose then that favours metallic bonding where electrons are "free". Metallic properties increase down a group , and decrease left to right across a period.
Metals have lattices analogous to ionic compounds, with each metal atom being quite close to often 6 - 8 others depending on the crystal form. One interesting fact is that under extremely high pressure as atoms are forced closer together, many elements become metallic- sulfur is no exception
What else can I help you with?
Is sulfur a metal?
Sulphur is a non-metal, with a bright yellow appearance. It is also a solid.No. A mineral.
Is sulfur dioxide a non metal?
Sulphate a non-metal!!!!!!!!*X!?! sulphate is a compound, SO4- so it is neither metal nor non-metal. But THINK about it; sulphur is a non-metal and ate as a suffix of a compound means that oxygen is present as in chlorate etc. Therefore surely you can work out that sulphate, being a COMPOUND is also made entirely of non-metals!
Is sulfur and metal or non metal?
Sufur is a nonmetal element. Most Nonmetals don't conduct electricity, are brittle when solid, lack the luster of metals when solid, and are poor conductors of heat. Metalloids have some chemical physicalproperties of metals and other properties of nonmetals.It is a Non-Metal.
Is xenon a metal non metal or metalliod?
Xenon is a non-metal, an inert (or noble) gas. Xenon is not a metal
Is copper a ferrous metal or a non-ferrous metal?
Copper is a non-ferrous metal because it does not contain iron.
Is sulphur decribed as non metal metal or metalloid?
Sulphur is a non-metal
Is S8 a metal or non-metal?
'S8' is an allotrope of sulphur. It is a non metal. It is yellow coloured, archaically known as 'Flowers of Sulphur'.
Is sulpher a metal?
Sulpher is non-existent. Sulphur is a non-metal.
What units is sulphur measured in?
non metal
State 2 reasons for stating that copper is a metal and sulphur is a non metal?
Copper is a metal because it is a good conductor of electricity and heat, and it has a shiny metallic luster. Sulphur is a non-metal because it is brittle, does not conduct electricity, and tends to form negative ions in chemical reactions.
Can sulphur form an alloy?
an alloy is a mixture of metals and sulphur is a non metal so the answer is no . :) hope that was helpful
Is a sulfur a metal or nonmetal?
Sulphur is a non-metal, with a bright yellow appearance. It is also a solid.
Is yellow brittle solid a metal or non metal?
A yellow brittle solid is most likely a non-metal. Metals are typically solid at room temperature, but they are usually malleable and ductile, rather than brittle. Non-metals, on the other hand, can be brittle in nature.
Why is sulphur is non-metal?
because its made up of crystals<3
Is sulphur metal or not?
sulphur is a non metal. It is a solid, usually encountered as a yellow powder but there are a number of different forms (allotropes)
Is sulphur metal or non metal?
No it's not, it's a multivalent non-metal.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur
Why a sulfur is a metal?
Sulfur is not a metal; it is a non-metal. It is found in group 16 of the periodic table along with oxygen, selenium, and tellurium. Sulfur typically forms covalent bonds in compounds, unlike metals which tend to form metallic bonds.
