In: School Subjects, Organic Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Sulphur is a multivalent non-metal, abundant, tasteless and and odorless. In its native form sulphur is a yellow crystalline solid. In nature it occurs as the pure element or as sulfide and sulfate minerals. Although sulphur is infamous for its smell, frequently compare to rotten eggs, that odor is actually characteristic of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S).

The crystallography of sulphur is complex. Depending on the specific conditions, sulphur allotropes form several distinct crystal structures.
