What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
What element has atomic number 16 and has 18 electrons?
SULFUR has 16 protons.But no neutral atom of an element can have MORE Electrons than Protons. This means that NO element can have 16 Protons and 18 Electrons.
Why will no one ever find an element between sulfur and chlorine?
Elements are distinguished based on their number of protons. Chlorine has exactly one proton more than sulfur. Since there cannot be fractions of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine on the periodic table.
How can chemists state with certainty that no one will discover an element between sulfur and chlorine?
Elements are distinguished based on their number of protons. Chlorine has exactly one proton more than sulfur. Since there cannot be fractions of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine on the periodic table.http://wiki.answers.com/Why_will_no_one_ever_find_an_element_between_sulfur_and_chlorine#ixzz17vf65uRN
Which has more protons sulfur or idoine?
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons of an element. Atomic number of sulphur is 16 while the atomic number of Iodine is 53. So iodine has more protons.
What element in group 16 has more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?
Sulfur. definitely Sulfur

What element has atomic number 16 and has 18 electrons?
SULFUR has 16 protons.But no neutral atom of an element can have MORE Electrons than Protons. This means that NO element can have 16 Protons and 18 Electrons.
Is there more than one atom used in element?
No, an element is 1 atom with a certain number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Is it possible to have carbon atoms with different numbers of protons?
No because the number of protons never changes or else the element changes.
Why will no one ever find an element between sulfur and chlorine?
Elements are distinguished based on their number of protons. Chlorine has exactly one proton more than sulfur. Since there cannot be fractions of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine on the periodic table.
Why does atom of different elements weigh differently?
Every element has a specific amount of protons and neutrons in its nuclues. If an atom has more protons and neutrons than another element, it is heavier.
How many neutrons are in sulfur 34?
16 Sulfur's atomic number is 16. This means that a sulfur atom has 16 protons and 16 electrons. The '36' in 'Sulfur-36' means that it has a molar mass of 36. This doesn't affect the number of electrons because electrons have barely any mass compared to protons and neutrons, the other subatomic particles. Thus, sulfur-36 has 20 neutrons, 16 protons, 16 electrons.
Does sulfur have more protons than iodine?
No, Sulfur has 16 protons, and Iodine has 53. So that means that Iodine has more protons than Sulfur.
Which has more protons iodine or sulfur?
iodine has more protons because it has 53 protons and sulfur only has 16. glad to help
Does An isotope contain more protons than the standard atom?
No. (and there is no such thing as "the standard atom"). All isotopes of a given element contain the same number of protons.
What element in group 16 has more protons than sodium but fewer than Aragon?
Sulfur (S)
