∙ 13y agoGenerally sulfur would tend to gain electrons but it can also share electrons with oxygen.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoSulfur can gain or lose electrons, depending on the reaction. However, to form the sulfur anion, S2-, sulfur gains electrons.

∙ 8y agoGenerally, sulfur (S) will lose electrons to become an anion in the formation of an ionic bond. It will share those electrons in the formation of a covalent bond.

What are the subparticles of an atom?
proton, neutron, electron- in the nucleus
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
What is the negatively charged particle found in an atom?
An electron is a negatively charged particle that whizzes around the nucleus of an atom.
What are the names of three particles in an atom?

When a neutron decays what does it form?
Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 15 minutes), decaying by emission of a negative electron and antineutrino to become a proton: : n0 → p+ + e− + νe

Which charge contributes to the proton electron and neutrion?
The three principal particles of an atom are the proton, electron and neutron. The proton and electron have +1 and -1 charges respectively. The neutron does not have a charge.
Which are the subatomic particles of an atom?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron. Proton and neutron contain quarks and gluons.
What happen when you take way an electron and a proton?
I think you won't have a atom because the electron, proton and neutron is the basic part of the atom.
What are the names of elements?
Well if you are talking about an atom then here are the parts of an atom proton,neutron,and electron here are the short names of them proton= P+ neutron= N and electron= e-
