How many electrons does a sulfur atom have?

The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.


Why is sulfur larger than oxygen?

Sulfur is larger than oxygen because it has more protons in its nucleus and more electrons in the orbital shells.


How many electrons are in orbitals related to the 3rd energy level of a sulfur atom?

The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.


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.


What is the number of electrons protons and neutrons of Sulfur?

Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons and 16, 17, 18 or 20 neutrons ( the number of neutrons is different for each isotope).


How many core electrons does sulfur have?

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.


How many electrons does a sulfur has?

All the isotopes of sulfur has 16 electrons.


Valence electrons for sulfur?

Sulphur has 6 valence electrons


How many outer electrons has sulfur?

Sulfur has 6 electrons in the valence shell.


Which element Has 16 electrons?

'S' look for it on the periodic table for full name.


How many electrons in the valence shell of sulfur?

There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.


When sulfur reacts with other elements it does not lose its electrons but rather gain two electrons why?

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.
