Sulfur has 16 Protons and 16 Elections.
16
They are all forms of a given chemical element. Example for sulfur: - S6, S7, S7, S7, S12, S18, etc. are allotropes of sulfur; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur atoms is the same. - sulfur has natural or artificial isotopes; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of the sulfur isotopes is the same. - an isomer is 43mS; but the atomic number (number of protons and electrons) of this sulfur isomer atoms is the same as for other isotopes.
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.
Sulfur. It has six valence electrons. These six electrons plus the ten core electrons, 16, the atomic number (number of electrons or the number of protons [they are an equal amount because the positive and negative charges have to cancel each other out]). It is sulfur.
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.
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Thus, any isotope of sulfur will have 16 protons.
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
Atomic number of sulfur = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 16
Atomic number of sulfur is 16. So there are 16 protons and 16 electrons
The number of protons and neutrons is 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
Electrons are equal to protons in a neutral element. Using the atomic number to find sulfur's number of proton's one finds that sulfur has 16 protons. Thus, sulfur in its elemental form must also have 16 electrons.
Sulfur has... Protons: 16 (just like its atomic number) Neutrons: 16 Electrons: 16
The sulfur-23 doesn't exist.
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
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 is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It has 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons and 16, 17, 18 or 20 neutrons ( the number of neutrons is different for each isotope).
