It is an essential element in all living things and is in the organic molecules of all fossil fuels. It is an important constituent of many atmospheric, subsurface, and dissolved gases. It occurs in the dissolved ions of many waters. As an element, sulfur is an important constituent of sulfate and sulfide minerals. Sulfur is abundant and occurs throughout the Universe, but it is rarely found in a pure, uncombined form at Earth's surface. Sulfur reacts and forms compounds with all elements except gold, iodine, iridium, nitrogen, platinum, tellurium, and the inert gases. Even though it is insoluble in water, it is one of the most versatile elements at forming compounds. At room temperature it is a yellow crystalline solid. Sulfur is a chemical element with an atomic number of 16 and an atomic symbol of S. Image copyright iStockphoto / Florintt, Gio_banfi, Abomb Industries Design, ivelly, and Big_Ryan. The smell of skunks, matches, garlic, grapefruit, and rotten eggs are caused by sulfur.
Many strong odors are produced by sulfur compounds.

This fumarole on the island of Kunashir (in the Kuril Islands, northeast of the Japanese island of Hokkaido) has a significant accumulation of bright yellow sulfur. Sulfur fumarole: As hot volcanic gases, rich in sulfur, escape from a volcanic vent, the gases cool and sulfur is deposited as yellow crystals around the vent.
