The concept of electronegativity deals with the power of attraction of an electron to element in a compound.
2.5 = carbon
2.58 = sulfur
Sulfur, having the higher electronegativity, will attract the electrons in the compound slightly more than carbon in the same case.
If you want to measure the power of attraction to single atoms, electron affinity is used.
i dont kno but i need to kno!
well its too late now!
well, carbon only has 6 protons and neutrons but sulfur has 16 protons and neutrons and weighs about 20 atomic units more than carbon.
Both Carbon and Sulphur have an electronegativity value of 2.5
they are both nonmetals
SimilaritiesBoth lithium and sulfur are elements that can be found on the periodic table.Both lithium and sulfur are solids at room temperature.Both lithium and sulfur have very high melting/boiling points.DifferencesLithium is a metal. Sulfur is a non-metalLithium is lustrous (shiny) in appearance. Sulfur is not.Lithium is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Sulfur is not.Lithium is malleable (able to be hammered into different shapes) and ductile (able to be draw into a wire). Sulfur is brittle.In chemical reactions, lithium tends to lose electrons whereas sulfur tends to gain electrons.Sulfur has a greater electronegativity (affinity to electrons) compared to lithium.Sulfur has a larger atomic radius than lithium.The 1st ionisation energy (minimum energy required to remove the first electron from the valence shell of a gaseous atom) of sulfur is greater than that of lithium.
It does not produce carbon dioxide or sulfur or nitrous oxides
During Photosynthesis carbon dioxide is used and oxygen is released. In chemo-synthesis oxygen may be used but it releases Sulfur dioxide. Example of chemo-synthesis are sulfur bacteria.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The same as in your own proteins - except for the excess of carbon.

Both Carbon and Sulphur have an electronegativity value of 2.5
Nonmetals, such as sulfur and carbon, tend to form covalent bonds with one another. Also, the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and carbon is 0.03, which means they form a nonpolar covalent bond with one another.
It is covalent due to the small electronegativity difference between hydrogen and sulfur.
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
The bond between carbon and chlorine is more polar than the bond between carbon and sulfur. To compare bond polarities, compare the difference in the electronegativities between the atoms. The difference between carbon (with an electronegativity of 2.55) and sulfur (2.58) is 0.03. The difference between carbon (2.55) and chlorine (3.16) is 0.61. Since the difference between C and Cl is larger than the difference between C and S, the C-Cl bond is more polar.
Sulfur is more electronegative than beryllium. The electronegativity of sulfur is 2.58, and the electronegativity of beryllium is 1.57.
Yes with any element with a higher electronegativity. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55 on the Pauling scale. Checkout the table in wikipedia in the article "electronegativity", you can see that nitrogen, oxygen , sulfur, and fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine all have higher electronegativities.
Yes and no. The difference in electronegativities of hydrogen (2.2) and sulfur(2.6) is exactly the same as that between hydrogen and carbon(2.6). The C-H bond is viewed as non-polar and so, therefore, should the H-S bond. However, due to the fact that there IS a difference in electronegativities, there is a small degree of ionic character (polarity) in both bonds. The boiling point of hydrogen sulfide (213K) strongly suggests the molecule be deemed non-polar, despite what some sources say.
Yes, oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur. This is because its electronegativity is about 3.44, while sulfur's is about 2.58.
Sulfur has a high electronegativity.
