16 electrons
A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons.
16, the same as the atomic number of sulfur.
All ions differ from an electrically neutral atom in that they are missing or have gained one or more electrons. A S2- atom has 2 less electrons than a neutral atom.
Six.
A sulfide ion, S2-, has 18 electrons. A neutral sulfur atom has 16 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number. Since electrons have a negative charge, a sulfur atom must gain two extra electrons in order to form the sulfide ion with a charge of 2-.
A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons.

This is an atom of sulfur, which we know by the number of protons. And it's a neutral atom of sulfur, because the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Also, we know it's the most abundant isotope of sulfur because of the 16 neutrons. A link can be found below.electrons
A neutral atom of silicon will have 4 valence electrons. The amount of valence electrons that a neutral atom will have can be found by the atoms group number in the periodic table.
An Anion is a negatively charged ion. Adding two electrons to a neutral atom(electrons and protons are equal) will cause it to have a charge of -2.
There are 16 protons in an atom of sulfur. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about the atom being "neutral" is unnecessary.
What is the neutral atom that has its first two energy levels filled, has 5 electrons in its third energy level, and has no other electrons? Enter the name of the element, not the abbreviation.
