I do not believe you're asking this...
OK. Sulfur has a total of 24 isotopes. Every isotope has 16 protons and the number of neutrons ranges from 10 to 33 inclusive.
Phosphorus has a total of 23 isotopes. They have 15 protons, and between 9 and 31 neutrons inclusive. So here we go.

Answer:

Rank of the isotopes from most to fewest neutrons:

S-36, P-35

P-33

P-32

S-32, P-31

Explanation:

The following options are missing:

S-36

P-35

S-32

P-33

P-32

P-31

Sulfur has 16 protons then S-36  has 36 - 16 = 20 neutrons and S-32 has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons.

Phosphorus has 15 protons, then  P-35 has 35 - 15 = 20 neutrons,  P-33 has 33 - 15 = 18 neutrons,  P-32 has 32 - 15 = 17 neutrons and P-31 has 31 - 15 = 16 neutrons.
