Fair question. The best answer is...there's more stuff in it. Oxygen has 8 Neutrons, 8 protons and 8 electrons.
Sulphur has 16 Neutrons, 16 protons and 8 electrons.
So the nucleus (Neutrons and protons) is bigger in sulphur. Just like a bunch of 32 balloons is bigger than a bunch of 16 balloons.
So that makes sense, but the big difference is in the electron configuration.
Oxygen has 8 electrons. 1s2, 2s2, 2p4.
Sulphur has 16 electrons. 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p4.
Whether that means much to you or not depends on your involvement in chemistry.
But we don't need to understand a lot of it. We can see sulphur's electrons fill up more orbitals than oxygen's because there are more electrons.. they can't all fit in the lower shells so you start expanding outward.
Sulphur uses the 3s and 3p orbital, which Oxygen doesn't have to. So sulphur's outermost electrons are further from the nucleus than oxygen's are.
As a final note, it's worth noticing that both Oxygen and Sulphur end with a p4 configuration...which is why they are chemically quite similar. They are analogues and in that way, comparing their other properties (such as atomic radius, here) is a pretty good thing to do.
Its radius is 103 picometers. Is that what you wanted?
sulfur
The full electron configuration for sulfur atom is 1s2.2s2.2p6.3s2.3p4.
there are 210 known isotopes in the element of sulfur i found this on sulfur factrs periodic table of the elements
There is one sulfur atom in FeSO3.
Because each atom has more eletons, so it needs more space.
due to small atomic size oxygen atom has high tendency to attract the electrons.
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
The radius of a sulfur atom is 106 picometers.
The full electron configuration for sulfur atom is 1s2.2s2.2p6.3s2.3p4.
It is obviously a nitrogen sulfur atom. :)
A sulfur atom has 16 electrons.

yes
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4 is +6.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4 is +6.
A sulfur atom tends to gain two electrons.
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
A sulfur molecule contain more atoms.
