The number of electrons in any neutral atom is always the same as the atomic number of the atom, 16 in this instance.
Sulphur does indeed have 16 protons and 16 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on which isotope you are talking about, and until you know how many neutrons the mass number is unknown.
i believe it's 18
No, they have the same atomic mass, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. No two elements have the same atomic number.
34 - 16, the atomic number of sulfur [note correct spelling] or 18.
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
The mass number indicates the number of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. Since the number of neutrons can vary, so can the mass number. The different versions of elements based on the number of neutrons are called isotopes. Sulfur-35 has an atomic mass of 35. So, it has a total of 35 protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since sulfur always has 16 protons, then the number of neutrons in this isotope is 19. (35 - 16 = 19)
We know that sodium is atomic number 11, and it has 11 protons, 11 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 12 neutrons in its sodium-23 isotope. Sulfur is atomic number 16, and will have 16 protons, 16 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 16 neutrons in it sulfur-32 isotope. Oxygen has atomic number 8, and has 8 protons, 8 electrons (in a neutral atom) and will have 8 neutrons in its oxygen 16 isotope. If we take 2 sodium atoms, a sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms, we'll have a total of 70 protons, 72 neutrons and 70 electrons in sum.
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
The number of protons and neutrons is 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
19, because since you know sulfur has 16 protons because that's its atomic number. you do 35-16=19
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral sulfur atom is the same as the atomic number of sulfur, which is 16. However, the number of neutrons can vary: Four isotopes of sulfur occur naturally, with 16, 17, 18, and 20 neutrons. Some 95 % of the atoms in a typical sample have 16 neutrons per atom.
Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons and 16, 17, 18 or 20 neutrons ( the number of neutrons is different for each isotope).
19 neutrons 16 protons and electrons
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Sulfur has... Protons: 16 (just like its atomic number) Neutrons: 16 Electrons: 16
The number of protons and of electrons is always 16, which is the atomic number of sulfur. The number of neutrons depends on which isotope of sulfur is the atom considered, but since the most common isotope is sulfur-32, the number of neutrons is most commonly also 16.
41 = 25 + 16, the latter being the atomic number of sulfur.
Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
16 electrons in the neutral atom. Sulfur -32 is an isotope containing 32 protons and neutrons Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, which is the number of protons therefore sulfur-32 has 16 neutrons
