The right answer is non metal


Found both in volcanoes and in all living beings, sulfur is recognizable among all elements for its bright yellow color.


Sulfur is a yellow solid that burns with a blue flame by emitting sulfur dioxide SO2. In water and other polar solvents, it is not soluble. This is however the case in apolar solvents. It is found in the form of deposits in nature.

Answer:

C) nonmetal

Explanation:

Metals are a good conductor of electricity because in metallic bond the metal cations are surrounded by a free flowing network of electrons. These free electrons allow metals to conduct electricity. However, non-metals form covalent bonds by sharing electrons between them. So they do not have free flowing electrons to conduct electricity. Hence non-metals are poor conductors. Metals have a high metallic shine, they are ductile and malleable.  

Non-metals on the other hand have no luster a powdery appearance.
