Sulfur-32

__**The Sulfur** **Atom**__ The Sulfur Atom's element symbol is S. Sulfur's atomic number is 16 and its atomic mass is 32, and therefore the Sulfur Atom has 16 protons, electrons, and neutrons. The Sulfur Atom has 3 energy shells, and in the first two, the electrons are arranged as in other atoms. In the last enenrgy shell, the electrons have two on top, two on the right, one on the bottom, and one on the left. Sulfur is classified as a Non-Metal. Non-Metals are very brittle and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. They do not conduct electricity and heat very well. Non-Metals exist in two states at Room Temperature - gases and solids. Non-Metals do not have a metallic luster and do not reflect light. Sulfur Atoms have a 2.07 gram per cubic centimeter density, and they do not float in water. Sulfur was discovered so long ago that there is no recorded date, by someone unknown, and can currently be found in matches, gunpowder, and medicine.
