Why sulfur has a lower ionisation energy than phosphorus?
because it has many number of shells.
What is the name for the compound P4S5?
phosphorus sulfur
What element is found in all nutrients that provide energy to an organism Sulfur Nitrogen Carbon or Phosphorus?
I beleive its CARBON.
Can sulfur phosphorus sesquisulfide and potassium chlorate make energy?
Yes, for example they are a component of a strike-anywhere matches
What is one of the main differences between the phosphorus and sulfur cycles?
The atmosphere has no significant role in the phosphorus cycle, but is an essential part of the sulfur cycle.

Why does sulfur have a higher melting point than phosphorus?
Sulfur is a larger molecule. It hence experiences greater Van der Waal's force.

Why is the melting point of sulfur higher than that of phosphorus?
Although they are both molecular structures, sulfur exists as S8 while phosphorus exists as P4. Sulfur has more electrons, therefore also has more Van Der Waals forces, than phosphorus. This means that it will require more heat energy to overcome these forces, causing it have a higher melting point.
What is the similarity and difference between sulfur and lithium?
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.
What is one of the main differences between the phosphorus and sulfur cycles?
The atmosphere has no significant role in the phosphorus cycle, but is an essential part of the sulfur cycle.
Is Phosphorus Sulfur Ionic or Covalent?
Covalent
What Sulfur oxygen and phosphorus are examples of .?
Elements
Does Plants need both sulfur and phosphorus in order to grow and reproduce How do plants obtain sulfur and phosphorus?
Sulfur and Phosphorus are available to a small degree naturally in the soil. When they are depleted they can be added through fertilization or crop rotation. These traces are necessary for proper growth.
In terms of periodic law which of these elements are the most similar - sodium phosphorus and sulfur?
The elements phosphorus and sulfur are elements 15 and 16 on the periodic table. They will have more in common than sodium, element 11 and an Alkali metal from Group 1 of the table, will have with either phosphorus or sulfur.
