Is sulfur a conductor?

Open in App

Solution

Conductor: The word "conductor" refers to a material that transmits electricity. Example: Almost every metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Sulfur: Sulfur is an element related to the oxygen family.
Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and sulfur is a non-metal.
As sulfur does not have free electrons to conduct the electricity, it is a poor conductor.
It conducts electricity under specific conditions.
Hence, sulfur is not a good conductor.
