Sulfur has 16 electrons. It also has 16 neutrons and 16 protons. Sulfur has the chemical symbol S and is a non-metal. It belongs to group 16 on the periodic table. Sulfur is yellow in color, and its atomic weight is 32.07 grams per mole. Sulfur has a melting point of 115.21 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 444.60 degrees Celsius.Although ancient civilizations knew about sulfur, it was not until the late 1700s that it was considered an element.
S-32 is the most common isotope with an abundance of 95.02%. Properties: Sulfur has a melting point of 112.8Â°C (rhombic) or 119.0Â°C (monoclinic), boiling point of 444.674Â°C, specific gravity of 2.07 (rhombic) or 1.957 (monoclinic) at 20Â°C, with a valence of 2, 4, or 6. Sulfur is a pale yellow, brittle, odorless solid. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in carbon disulfide.
