Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
Does sulfur have more electron shells than oxygen?
Yes sulfur does have more electron shells than oxygen.
Is oxygen more reactive than sulfur?
yes
Why does oxygen have a higher energy than sulfur?
In group 6A, oxygen is at the top and sulfur is below oxygen. Ionization energy decreases going down a group. groups run vertically
What are the elements in sulfer trioxide?
As the name implies, its constituent elements are sulfur and oxygen. Sulfur trioxide has the formula SO3, which means it contains one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms.
Does sulfur have a larger atomic radius than oxygen?
Yes.
Is the sulfur-oxygen bond larger or smaller than the sulfur's lone electron pairs?
yes i think
Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
What is more reactive oxygen or selenium?
Oxygen. Oxygen is a gas making it react faster, while sulfur is a solid.
Does sulfur have more electron shells than oxygen?
Yes sulfur does have more electron shells than oxygen.
Is oxygen more electronegative than sulfur?
Yes, oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur. This is because its electronegativity is about 3.44, while sulfur's is about 2.58.
Does oxygen or sulfur have more electron shells?
Oxygen is on period 2 whereas sulfur is on period 3. Therefore, sulfur has more electron shells than oxygen.
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.
Which of these is NOT a diatomic element fluorine sulfur oxygen hydrogen?
Sulfur is not diatomic. It forms S8 molecules rather than S2.
Is oxygen more reactive than sulfur?
yes
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
What are the elements in sulfer trioxide?
As the name implies, its constituent elements are sulfur and oxygen. Sulfur trioxide has the formula SO3, which means it contains one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms.
