How does sulfur reacts with metal?

Sulfur reacts with most metals to form a sulfide. It's a member of the Group 16 elements known as “chalcogens”, a word derived from the Greek word for copper ore, “chalcos”. The chalcogens are “ore makers”, meaning that most metal ores are compounds with one of the Group 16 elements, and very often sulfur. read more

Steel is a general term for metal alloys containing iron, carbon and manganese with smaller amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. In the absence of water, sulphur dioxide does not react strongly with steel. read more

Sulfur is a multivalent non-metal. It is found in nature in pure form, as well as in form of sulfide or sulfate minerals. Iron powder reacts with sulfur powder, but if you just mix them resulting mixture can still be separated, either with a magnet using metal properties of iron, or using carbon disulfide as a solvent for sulfur. read more
