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.
The number of protons in any sulfur atom, whether neutral or not, is always 16.
There are 16 protons in a neutral sulfur atom, sulfur ion, or sulfur isotope.

Most elements have isotopes---atoms that have the same number of protons (and hence they are still that element) but different numbers of neutrons. For instance, sulfur found in nature has four stable isotopes: S-32 16 protons 16 neutrons S-33 16 protons 17 neutrons S-34 16 protons 18 neutrons S-36 16 protons 20 neutrons Each of these isotopes has a different mass, but all are sulfur because they have 16 protons.
The three subatomic particles are: Neutrons Protons Electrons. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atoms. The electrons are found in s, p, d and f orbitals of the energy levels which surround the nucleus.
S=sulfur The specific sulfur could be written 16S32.
what element contains 16 protons? what element contains 10 protons?
The ion S(2-) has 16 protons and 18 electrons.
It has 19. If you look at the periodic table of elements potassium (k)'s atomic number is 19. An atomic number Is how many protons is in it's nucleus. So the answer is 19
'S' look for it on the periodic table for full name.
16 protons, and if it isn't an ion ("isn't an ion" means that it has no electric charge), it has 16 electrons. on average, sulfur has 16.065 neutrons, but that's averaged out, so it's a weird number. let's just say most sulfur has 16 neutrons.
Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.

Sulfur (S)
S for sulfur because the number of protons tells you the atomic number with is 16 and 16 is sulfur. The electrons means it is an ion with two more electrons than protons. The neutrons have no charge but add mass to the element.
