Every atom has an atomic number, even Sulfur. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Sulfur (That most people don't know).
Sulfur Overview
Atomic Symbol
S (Sulfur)
Description
Tasteless, odorless, pale yellow, brittle solid. Tenth most abundant element in the universe.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Found in pure form and in ores like cinnabar, galena, sphalerite and stibnite. Pure form is obtained from undergound deposits by the Frasch process.
