Why does sulfur burn?

In In Parshas Vayeira, Hashem destroys Sedom and Amora with fire and sulfur. Sulfur is a bright yellow mineral that burns easily, producing flames and a very strong smell. It also creates a gas that can irritate the eyes and lungs. In high amounts, sulfur is dangerous, but it is an important ingredient in things like matches, fertilizer, gunpowder, and medicines. Finally, sulfur is also a mineral found in the body! It helps build proteins and is important for healthy skin, hair, and joints.

Everything that Hashem created can be used for the good or for the bad. Sulfur can punish and destroy, but it can also heal.
