what are the chemical properties of Sulphur?
Answers
Answer:
Chemical Formula S
Compounds Familiar compounds are Sodium sulfite, hydrogen sulfide (a poisonous gas that smells like rotten eggs) and sulfuric acid
Oxidation The oxides are sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, which when dissolved in water make sulfurous acid and sulfuric acid, respectively
Reactivity It is chemically reactive, especially upon heating, and combines with almost all the elements. Upon heating, sulfur reacts with metals, forming the corresponding sulfides
Explanation:
Sulfur is an odorless, tasteless, light yellow solid. It is a reactive element that given favorable circumstances combines with all other elements except gases, gold, and platinum. Sulfur appears in a number of different allotropic modifications: rhombic, monoclinic, polymeric, and others. The rhombic structure is the most commonly found sulfur form. Each allotropic form differs in solubility, specific gravity, crystalline, crystalline arrangement, and other physical constants. These various allotropes also can exist together in equilibrium in definite proportions, depending on temperature and pressure.
