Explanation:

Sulfur (\(S\)) is a non - metal. Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, have a metallic luster, and are malleable and ductile. Non - metals have properties opposite to metals in many aspects. Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and non - metals. Noble gases are in Group 18 of the periodic table and are chemically inert under normal conditions. Sulfur has the characteristics of a non - metal such as being a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and it is brittle.
