Please Help Me !!! Which Element Is More Electronegative Between Oxygen And Sulfur ??? And Why ???
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
- Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur.
- Oxygen has 3.44 Electronegativity and Sulphur has 2.58.
- If you see the periodic table, you observe that both oxygen and sulphur comes in same group.
- They lie in the 16th Group of periodic table.
- Now we know that, When we move down a group, the number of shells increases.
- This causes the increase in electropositivity and decrease in electronegativity.
- Thus, resulting in less Electronegativity of Sulphur than Oxygen.

•Oxygen is higly active chemically and combines with other redially with other elements in the process of oxidation.

•Combustion of fuels represents a rapid form of oxidation of whereas weathering of rocks represents slow form of oxidation.

•Oxygen is a colour less, tasteless and odourless gas in nature.

•It creates the properties of water, and fuels our bodies by this we can say that oxygen is more electromagnetive than sulphur.

•Oxygen has 8 protons and and need 8 electrons to balance out a positive charge.
