A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons.
Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.

How many electrons does a sulfur atom lose to form an ion?
they both gain 2 electrons becoming the anions Oxide and Sulfide, O2- and S2-
How is sulfide s2?
The sulfur atoms gain two electrons to form the sulfide ion.
What is the number of protons and electrons in a sulfide ion -2?
Protons = 16 Electrons = 18
How many valence electrons are there in the sulfite ion?
8 because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and when it becomes sulfide it gains two electrons making it 6+2=8.
In the compound MgS the sulfide what has the ion done?
Gained 2 electrons.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
How many electron and protons does Sulfide ion have?
16 protons and 18 electrons

How is sulfide s2?
The sulfur atoms gain two electrons to form the sulfide ion.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes an sulfide ion?
Sulpher gains two electrons as it is in group 6 and to be stable it would obviously need two more electrons.. :)
Select the answer that correctly indicates the number of protons and electrons for this atom or ion Sulfide ion?
16 protons and 18 electrons
What is the number of protons and electrons in a sulfide ion -2?
Protons = 16 Electrons = 18
How many valence electrons are there in the sulfite ion?
8 because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and when it becomes sulfide it gains two electrons making it 6+2=8.
In the compound MgS the sulfide what has the ion done?
Gained 2 electrons.
What is true of sulfide ion?
it has 2 more electrons than protons.
Does a sulfide ion have a bigger radius than a sulfur atom?
The nuclear charge is the same for both species, but the eight valence electrons in the sulfide ion experience a greater amount of electron-electron repulsion than do the six valence electrons in the neutral sulfur atom. This extra repulsion in the sulfide ion increases the average distance between the valence electrons, so the electron cloud around the sulfide ion has the greater radius.
A sulfide ion S2- has how many protons?
The number of protons of an element does not change when it undergoes a chemical change. It is the number of electrons that changes. Sulfur has 16 protons, and so does the sulfide ion. However, sulfur has 16 electrons, while the sulfide ion (S2-) has 18 electrons.
