How many electrons present in a sulfate ion how many electrons are present for bonding in a sulfate ion?

A sulfate ion consists of one sulfur atom, four oxygen atoms, and two "excess" electrons from another source. Each sulfur atom has 16 electrons, each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so that the total is 16 + (4 X 8) + 2 = 50. The question of "bonding electrons" is not quite so clear. When acting as an ion, each sulfate ions has two electrons available for ionic bonding. Internal bonding within each sulfate ion is generally supposed to correspond to two sulfur-oxygen double bonds with four bonding electrons each, two sulfur-oxygen single bonds with two bonding electrons each, and the two excess electrons, for a total of 14.

Phosphorous has a total of 15 electrons, and of those, 3 of them are valence shell, or bonding electrons. So, 12 electrons are core electrons, and are non-bonding.
