16 protons and 18 electrons
16 protons and 18 electron
it has 2 more electrons than protons.
No. By definition an ion is electrically charged and so must have a different number of protons and electrons. A chloride ion has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
Protons = 16 Electrons = 18

The number of protons of an element does not change when it undergoes a chemical change. It is the number of electrons that changes. Sulfur has 16 protons, and so does the sulfide ion. However, sulfur has 16 electrons, while the sulfide ion (S2-) has 18 electrons.
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.
There are 8 protons and 10 electrons in an oxide ion.
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons. Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
A sulfide ion, S2-, has 18 electrons. A neutral sulfur atom has 16 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number. Since electrons have a negative charge, a sulfur atom must gain two extra electrons in order to form the sulfide ion with a charge of 2-.
There are 16 protons in the sulfide ion, which is similar to the sulfur atom.
