All of the elements in Group 16 (Group 6A) have 6 valence electrons. Their atomic numbers are 8 for oxygen, 16 for sulfur, 34 for selenium, 52 for tellurium, 84 for polonium, and 116 for ununhexium.
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
1 atom of oxygen contains 8 protons and 8 electrons.
An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
Protons: 5 Neutrons: 7 Electrons: 5

Potassium is in the s block. It contains 19 protons in the atom.
2
Chromium is in the d block. It contains 24 protons.
24 electrons, remember the atomic number of an element tells you how many protons it has. The number of protons = the number of electrons (if the atom isnt charged)
One atom of chlorine contains 17 protons and 17 electrons. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of electrons balances out the positive charge of the protons to keep the atom electrically neutral.
The Bromine atom contains: 35 protons, 35 electrons, and 45 neutrons.
