This element is oxygen (O).
the number of sulfur is 16 and the atomic mass is 32.066 and the symbol name is s
Mass number = no. of protons + neutrons Atomic number = no. of protonsThus (mass number - atomic number) gives you no. of neutrons.Therefore for phosphorus, the number of neutrons would be 16.
Sulfur has atomic number 16 and atomic mass 32.
That would be oxygen (16O).
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16 Atomic number of it is 8.
The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and is different for each isotope of any element.For example the isotope oxygen-16 has the mass number 16.The mass number is not the atomic mass !!
Look on the Periodic Table. The bottim number is the Atomic Mass and the top is the atomic number. ex. The atomic mass for O (oxygen) is 16.
The approximate mass of an oxygen atom in atomic mass units is 16. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means that its atomic mass is approximately 16 atomic mass units.
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).
Atomic number for sulfur: 16
16
Subtract the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number 16. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7, therefore its atoms have 7 protons. The number of neutrons in the atoms of the isotope nitrogen-16 is 16 -7 = 9 neutrons.
