The Arabian word ‘Sufra’ is also said to be one of the sources of how the name Sulfur existed. Sulfur’s other name is Brimstone. It’s color is yellow, and it is grouped as a non-metal element. It’s a solid material. Sulfur’s melting point is on 112.8°C, and it’s boiling point is on 444.6°C. It’s insoluble in water, but is soluble in carbon disulfide. It’s atomic weight is 32.066, but it’s density is 2.070 g/cc. The evaporation heat, which is the heat that will make Sulfur evaporate is 10.5 kJ/mol. It is also said that Sulfur is in the Chalcogen group. Click to go back to main menu Source: http://kriste11e r.com/school_w ork/07- 08/science/min eral_project/im age/sulfur.jpg
