the reason that sulfur and oxygen have different chemical properties is because of several reasons. the first is that they have different numbers of sub-atomic particles. and secondly they have different numbers of valence electrons
it is sulfur
When sulfur burns it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which is an entirely different substance from sulfur or oxygen.
Oxygen
Neither. Sulfur is an element by it self , that has its own physical and chemical properties.
The chemical formula of aluminum sulfate is Al2(SO4)3, consequently this compound contain aluminum, sulfur and oxygen.
it is sulfur
probably sulfur
a) nitrogen b) fluorine c) oxide iond) nitride ion e) sulfurOut of these options, the correct answer is e) sulfur. Sulfur is the chemical species that would be expected to have a properties most similar to oxygen.
When sulfur burns it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which is an entirely different substance from sulfur or oxygen.
Go grab your periodic chart and you will see that both oxygen and sulfur are in the same group (column). Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Oxygen
sulfur
Three elements that have similar chemical properties to oxygen are sulfur, selenium, and tellurium. These elements belong to the same group as oxygen in the periodic table and have similar electron configurations, which influence their reactivity and chemical behavior. Additionally, they can form similar types of chemical bonds with other elements.
Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
Sulfur (S)

Selenium, the element immediately below sulfur in the same column of a wide form periodic table. (The element immediately above sulfur in the same column, oxygen, is the lightest element in the column, and these lightest elements in a column of main group elements often have chemical properties somewhat different from all the other elements in the column. Sulfur, for example, has a much lower electronegativity than oxygen, while the difference between electronegativities of selenium and sulfur is much less.)
