SULFUR has 16 protons.
But no neutral atom of an element can have MORE Electrons than Protons. This means that NO element can have 16 Protons and 18 Electrons.

How man protons electrons and neutrons are in sulfur?
Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.
What is the atomic number of S-2?
The atomic number of sulfur is 16 The number of protons is the same as the atomic number. The S-2 gains 2 electrons so it changes from 16 to 18. The atomic mass is 32. The atomic mass number minus the number of protons will give you 16 which is the number of neutrons. :)
How many electrons are found in the clouds surrounding the nucleus of sulfur?
16 - it is same as te atomic number of element
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in sulfur?
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
What is the atomic number for iron sulphur?
Sulfur is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 16.
What is the maximum number of covalent bonds an element with atomic number 7 can make with an element with atomic number of 16?
It can make maximum 2 covalent bonds as element of atomic number 7 has 5 valence electrons while element having 16 atomic number have 6 valence electrons.
What element has atomic number 16?
The element with the atomic weight of 16 is Sulphur (S). Sulphur is in Group 16(6) of the Periodic Table and is in the third period of the table. Sulphur has 16 electrons 3 shells, 6 electrons in the outer shell.
An explination of what mass number and atomic number are?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the element. And since the number of protons = number of electrons, the atomic number is also the number of electrons in the element. The mass number of an element refers to the number of neutrons and protons in the element. &since electrons are negligible in mass, the number of neutrons can be found out by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. Take for example, oxygen. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16. Hence, from the atomic number it can be derived that it has: 8 electrons 8 protons While from the mass number, it can be derive that it has: 16-8 = 8 neutrons
What is the electron number of calcium-40?
The element Calcium (Ca) has 20 electrons according to its atomic number which is 20.
Element with 16 neurons?
Phosphorous Atomic Number: 15 Atomic Weight: 31 15 Protons 16 Neutrons 15 Electrons
What number of protons in one atom of an element is that element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
How man protons electrons and neutrons are in sulfur?
Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.
What is the atomic number of S-2?
The atomic number of sulfur is 16 The number of protons is the same as the atomic number. The S-2 gains 2 electrons so it changes from 16 to 18. The atomic mass is 32. The atomic mass number minus the number of protons will give you 16 which is the number of neutrons. :)
Which atom composed of 16 protons 16 electrons and 16 neutrons?
The atomic number of an element is invariably the number of protons in its nucleus. So, 16.
How do you figure out how many protons and neutrons are in an atom?
you use the mass number for the neutrons. you take away the atomic nomber from the mass number and the answer is the number of neutrons. for the electrons and the protons you just write the atomic number.
What has a equal number of protons and electrons?
An atom of an element.Not to be confused with an ion which can have more or less electrons than it has protons.an Atom.It means that it is a element because the atomic number in an element is the same as the number of electrons, and minused from the mass equals the number of neutrons. For example Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 and an atomic number of 8 which means there are 8 protons 8 electrons (because they are the same) and 8 neutrons (they are just solid mass [16-8=8]).
Which element has 2 electrons in first shell and 6 in second?
Sulphur (Sulfur in the US) Location of electrons is not important to determine which element it is. 16 electorns means that it would have 16 protons in it's nucleus, so 16 is atomic number of the element. It would have 16 neutrons in it's nucleus too (it is usually one neutron for each proton), which make atomic weight of this element equal to 32.
