Sulfur (also spelled sulphur in British English) is a chemical element; it has symbol S and atomic number 16. It is abundant, multivalent and nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with the chemical formula S 8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.
Sulfur, nonmetallic chemical element, one of the most reactive of the elements. Pure sulfur is a tasteless, odorless, brittle solid that is pale yellow in color, a poor conductor of electricity, and insoluble in water. It reacts with all metals except gold and platinum, forming sulfides.
The alchemical symbol for sulfur is shown against a ‘fire and brimstone’ background. There are several allotropes of sulfur. The most common appears as yellow crystals or powder. Sulfur is used in the vulcanisation of black rubber, as a fungicide and in black gunpowder.
