41 = 25 + 16, the latter being the atomic number of sulfur.
Because that is the number of neutrons one atom of sulfur contains.
Each sulfur atom contains 16 protons; the mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons; therefore, 47. (It is unlikely that such a heavy isotope of sulfur actually exists.)
16 protons + 19 neutrons = 35 mass number
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.
Sulfur is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 32.

16 protons + 19 neutrons = 35 mass number
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 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.
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
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.
The most stable isotope of sulfur (S-32) has 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
Number of nucleons = number of protons + neutrons = 16 + 17 = 33 The mass number is thus 33 and the atom is denoted sulfur-33 or 33S.
Sulfur is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 32.
Mass number of S = 32.1 Atomic number of S = 16 The most common isotope of sulfur is 32S (95.02%). Therefore there are 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons per atom of sulfur-32.
S with 17 neutrons and 16 protons has a mass number of 33 amu
