Sulfur (in non-scientific British use also sulphur) is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16.
It is abundant, multivalent, and nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S8.
Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.
Sulfur burns with a blue flame with formation of sulfur dioxide, which has a suffocating and irritating odor.
Sulfur is insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide and, to a lesser extent, in other nonpolar organic solvents, such as benzene and toluene.
Zinc is an element with atomic symbol Zn, atomic number 30, and atomic weight 65.39.
Zinc is an essential mineral and heavy metal that is included in most over-the-counter multivitamin and mineral supplements, and is used therapeutically in higher doses because of its ability to block copper absorption as maintenance therapy of Wilson disease.
Zinc has not been associated with worsening of serum enzyme elevations during therapy or with clinically apparent liver injury.
Zinc atom is a zinc group element atom. It has a role as a micronutrient.
