The atomic number of an element is always the same as the number of protons in an atom of the element.
atomic number(Z) = no. of protons Detailed: The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the same atom. And the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
The number of protons and neutrons is 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
Atomic number 16, that means, 16 protons. The number of neutrons can, of course, vary, as with most elements: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_sulfur
atomic number(Z) = no. of protons Detailed: The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the same atom. And the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Atomic number of it is 16. It has 16 protons in a atom.
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.
16 electrons and 16 atomic number.
Sulfur, which atomic number (in the PS) is 16, by definition equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
The number of protons and neutrons is 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
The atomic mass of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has 16 neutrons, its atomic mass would be the total of the protons and neutrons. For example, if the atom has 8 protons, the atomic mass would be 16 (neutrons) + 8 (protons) = 24.
Oxygen has 8 protons in the atom.
The atom composed of 16 protons, 16 electrons, and 16 neutrons is sulfur. Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, which determines the number of protons and electrons, and the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass number.
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
S has 16 as the atomic number. It has 16 protons in a atom.
The number of protons in an element is equal to the atomic number. (dont mix this up with atomic mass. It is simply the large number that appears usually in the top left hand corner on the periodic table. For example, Lithium has 3 protons. Sulfur has 16 protons and so forth)
