in stable isotope of sulphur their are 16 neutrons in its nucleus....
S with 17 neutrons and 16 protons has a mass number of 33 amu
The most stable isotope of sulfur (S-32) has 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
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 mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since sulfur has 16 protons (its atomic number) and 19 neutrons, the mass number of a sulfur atom with 19 neutrons would be 16 + 19 = 35.
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.
The mass number is calculated by adding together the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. A sulfur atom typically has 16 protons, so if it contains 31 neutrons, the mass number would be 16 (protons) + 31 (neutrons) = 47.
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.
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.
An atom of sulfur has 16 protons and 16 electrons. Depending on the isotope, it can have anywhere from 16 to 20 neutrons.
Sulfur is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
