==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===
[[Sulphur]] is a yellow [[solid]].
==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[File:SulphurSymbol1.png|right|300px|thumb|The [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] for [[Sulphur]].]]
[[Sulphur]] is a [[Group 6]] [[non-metal]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 16.
===About Sulphur===
: [[Sulphur]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Sulphur|S]].
====Molecular Structure====
: The [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] for a [[Sulphur]] [[molecule]] is [[Sulphur|S<sub>8</sub>]].
====Atomic Structure====
: [[Sulphur]] has 16 [[proton]]s and 16 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Atomic Number|atomic number]] of 16 and a [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 32.
: [[Sulphur]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
====Properties====
: [[Sulphur]] is a yellow [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Sulphur]] is a [[Group 6]] [[non-metal]] [[element]], on the [[Periodic Table]], with 16 [[proton]]s in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
===About Sulphur===
: [[Sulphur]] has the [[Chemical Symbol|chemical symbol]] [[Sulphur|S]].
====Molecular Structure====
: The [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] for an [[Sulphur]] [[molecule]] is [[Sulphur|S<sub>8</sub>]].
: [[Sulphur]] forms a [[Covalent Bond|covalent bond]] with another [[Sulphur]] [[atom]] to produce a [[Simple Covalent Molecule|simple covalent molecule]].
====Atomic Structure====
: The most common [[Stable Isotope|stable isotope]] of [[Sulphur]] has 16 [[neutron]]s in its [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] giving it an [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic mass]] of 32.
: [[Sulphur]] is in [[Period]] 3 of the [[Periodic Table]] because it has 3 [[Electron Orbital|electron shells]].
: [[Sulphur]] has 6 [[electron]]s in its [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] and needs 2 more to get a full [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] so it can form 2 [[bond]]s with other [[atom]]s.
====Properties====
: [[Sulphur]] is yellow [[solid]] at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]] with a low [[Melting Point|melting point]].
