16 - it is same as te atomic number of element
The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
Sulfur has 10 core electrons. Because the core electrons = all electrons that aren't valence electrons. Sulfur has 16 electrons; 6 valence and 10 core.
'S' look for it on the periodic table for full name.
Atomic number of sulfur = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 16
The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.
Sulfur is larger than oxygen because it has more protons in its nucleus and more electrons in the orbital shells.
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
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.
Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons and 16, 17, 18 or 20 neutrons ( the number of neutrons is different for each isotope).
Sulfur has 10 core electrons. Because the core electrons = all electrons that aren't valence electrons. Sulfur has 16 electrons; 6 valence and 10 core.
All the isotopes of sulfur has 16 electrons.
Sulphur has 6 valence electrons
Sulfur has 6 electrons in the valence shell.
'S' look for it on the periodic table for full name.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Because sulfur's valence shell is more than half full with 6 electrons. I takes less energy for sulfur to gain 2 electrons than it does for sulfur to lose electrons.
