Elements are distinguished based on their number of protons. Chlorine has exactly one proton more than sulfur. Since there cannot be fractions of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine on the Periodic Table.

Difference between the different forms of the chlorine atom?
Chlorine exists in three main forms: Cl, Cl2, and Cl-. Cl is a single chlorine atom, Cl2 is a diatomic molecule of two chlorine atoms, and Cl- is a chloride ion with a negative charge. These different forms have varying reactivity and properties due to differences in electronic structure.
Which is not a heavy metal Silver nitrate Mercurochrome chlorine merthiolate copper sulfate?
None of the materials listed is a heavy metal, because most of them are compounds, and only elements are ever heavy metals. The only one on the list that does not contain a heavy metal is chlorine, which is a nonmetallic element.
Can a molecule be an element?
Yes, some of the nonmetals (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens) form diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, etc.). Sulfur forms S8 molecules, phosphorus can form P4 molecules, and the ever versatile element carbon can form C60 molecules among others.
What element is responsible for the odor of rotten eggs?
Sulfur Have you ever smelled a real rotten egg? enzymes that break down the egg are not necessairally sulfur content. these enzymes occur naturally in the earth. these are the same enzymes that break down everything that is deteriorating. from eggs to animals. this is what makes the egg smell like sulfur. but the same enzymes make your underarms stink and a dead body rot yet they all have a distinctive smell. they are not all the same in fragrance.
Would a sulfur become a positive ion before bonding?
Rarely if ever would sulfur become a cation or positive ion before bonding. Sulfur already has 6 electrons in the valence shell or outermost energy level (outer most orbital(s) formed by the electron's motion in space). This means Sulfur will want to gain 2 electrons to become a negative ion, become stable and fill the valence shell with 8 electrons (the goal of all elements on the periodic table in groups 1-2 & 13 - 17, where groups 1, 2, 13 & sometimes 14 will lose 1, 2, 3, & sometime 4 electrons respectively to become stable and 14-17 will gain 4, 3, 2, & 1 electrons respectively to become stable or lower in energy). Sulfur can share electrons with other nonmetals which may be able to pull those shared electrons closer to itself (such as fluorine - the element in the groups discussed above that exhibits the greatest ability to attract electrons to itself properly called the most electronegative element) causing sulfur to take on a partial positive charge indicated by the Greek symbol delta+ but it will not display a full positive charge.
Difference between the different forms of the chlorine atom?
Chlorine exists in three main forms: Cl, Cl2, and Cl-. Cl is a single chlorine atom, Cl2 is a diatomic molecule of two chlorine atoms, and Cl- is a chloride ion with a negative charge. These different forms have varying reactivity and properties due to differences in electronic structure.
Do the chlorine atoms ever return the electrons to the sodium atoms?
No, the chlorine atoms do not return the electrons to the sodium atoms.
Which is not a heavy metal Silver nitrate Mercurochrome chlorine merthiolate copper sulfate?
None of the materials listed is a heavy metal, because most of them are compounds, and only elements are ever heavy metals. The only one on the list that does not contain a heavy metal is chlorine, which is a nonmetallic element.
What is the most common element?
Hydrogen. It is also the lightest element and the first element that ever formed.
Can a molecule be an element?
Yes, some of the nonmetals (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens) form diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, etc.). Sulfur forms S8 molecules, phosphorus can form P4 molecules, and the ever versatile element carbon can form C60 molecules among others.
Can the number of prontons in an element ever change?
Not unless it becomes another element.
What would happen if there was ever a spill of chlorine gas?
if chlorine whent on your skin you would know about it because it will burn you and it would really hurt xx
What is the most powerful element ever?
wind
Can you go in to a sulfur pool with a 4 week old tattoo?
Im not quite sure what a sulfur pool is. but i wouldn't recommend it, the chemicals in the pool are prob gunna do nothing but bad for your tattoo.
What happens to the particles when salt dissolves?
Salt is made up of a huge bunch of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms bonded to each other in such a way that for ever one sodium atom there is one chlorine atom. When salt is put in water the bonds between all the sodium and chlorine atoms are broken and the sodium atoms and chlorine atoms separate from each other. They are so small that the solution is now transparent, light can travel through it, and the atoms are too small to be seen by the naked eye. But if you then allow the water to evaporate away, gradually the bonds reform between the sodium and chlorine atoms and salt crystals are formed again.
Is sodium ever found alone in nature?
Sodium is a highly reactive element and is typically found in nature combined with other elements such as chlorine in salt deposits or in compounds like sodium hydroxide. It is rarely found in its pure form because it readily reacts with air and water.
Which region of the periodic table contains the first element ever produced synthetically?
Since the first element ever produced synthetically was Technetium, then it will be in the Transition Metal block.
