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.
