Question

Sulphur element is said to be:
A. ductile
B. hard
C. malleable
D. brittle

Answer 1

Answer:

sulphur is a brittle element.

Answer 2

D. brittle

Explanation:

Sulfur is a soft, pale yellow, odorless, brittle solid. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in carbon disulfide. It burns with a blue flame, oxidizing to sulfur dioxide. Sulfur exists in several crystalline and amorphous allotropes.

A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it breaks with little elastic deformation and without significant plastic deformation. Brittle materials absorb relatively little energy prior to fracture, even those of high strength.  

Option D is the answer.
