Pure, elemental sulfur is always yellow, yes, as as to why, it is because elemental sulfur reflects yellow light. Period. It is as simple as that.

is sulphur a lustrous metal?

No. Sulfur is a yellow, non-lustrous non-metal. It forms large yellow crystals, which can easily be broken down into yellow powder. When combined with oxygen, especially during combustion, it forms sulfur dioxide. Sulfur often smells like rotten eggs, as do its thiol (sulfur-hydrogen) compounds, which are often formed when bacteria break down sulfur-contain substances, such as proteins.


Is Sulfur a solid or aqueous solution?

Sulfur is typically a solid at room temperature. It appears as a yellow, brittle solid and does not dissolve in water, so it does not exist as an aqueous solution under normal conditions. However, sulfur can form various compounds that may be dissolved in water, but elemental sulfur itself remains a solid.


What does the symbol element SO stand for?

The symbol "SO" does not represent an element on the periodic table; rather, it typically refers to the chemical compound sulfur oxide, particularly in the context of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) or sulfur monoxide (SO). Sulfur is represented by the symbol "S," and oxygen is represented by "O." If you meant to inquire about sulfur or sulfur oxides, please clarify!


What is the chemical symbol for SO?

Sulfur monoxide is SO.


How many protons are in the nucleus of sulfur (S)?

There are 16 protons in an atom of sulfur. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about the atom being "neutral" is unnecessary.

Is sulfur metallic or non metallic?

Amorfous sulfur is a yellow powder, this is nothing like metal, so sulfur is a nonmetal (the same as e.g. carbon)

Sulfur. We stink so you don't have to. Sulfur. Putting the brimstone in "fire and brimstone" sermons since 1532. Sulfur, the other yellow gold. Think sulfur. Sulfur - what REALLY makes the world go 'round.


Why was sulfur named so?

Sulfur comes from the Old French soufre, apparently referring from a root meaning "to burn", this undoubtly has something in common whith the off flavors of many sulfidic compounds. Also often related to 'hell fire and fumes'.


Where do you get a kings rock in yellow?

You can't. Slowking and Politoed are generation 2 pokemon, and Yellow is a generation 1 game, so Slowking, Politoed, AND kings rock didn't exist at the time.

How many valence electrons does Sulfur?

there are 6 electrons in valence shell of sulphur so it accepts two electrons to complete the octet (8 electrons in last shell) so its valency in ionic compounds is always - 2.
