Does sulfur have a larger atomic radius than oxygen?

Yes.


Does oxygen have a greatest atomic radius then sulfur?

Sulfer. The atomic radius increases as you go down a group.


Who has a larger atomic radius Be or O?

N-- Because it has less electrons, the proton pull is smaller on each individual electron, holding them closer to the nucleus and making the radius smaller

Why are Sulfur-Hydrogen bond lengths longer than Oxygen-Hydrogen bond lengths?

If you take a look at the Periodic Table of Elements, you'll notice that sulfur is directly underneath oxygen. According to trends in the Periodic Table, one knows that the size of the atom of sulfur is larger than that of oxygen because there are more electrons in a higher energy level surrounding the nucleus. The bond between both hydrogen and oxygen and hydrogen and sulfur are covalent. That means that the lone electron around the hydrogen is equally shared between the hydrogen and the sulfur. Simply because sulfur is a larger atom, it will have a larger bond length between anything it bonds with than that if oxygen were to bond with that same atom.


Why is sulfur larger than oxygen?

Sulfur is larger than oxygen because it has more protons in its nucleus and more electrons in the orbital shells.
