Where did sulfur get its name

kassidy_nielsen — 2017-06-21 18:39:32 UTC

Sulfur gets its name from the Latin word "sulphur" which is formed from a Latin root meaning "to burn".

When burned, sulfur emits a blue flame and melts into a molten red liquid. It also combines with oxygen to form a toxic gas called sulfur dioxide (SO2).
