Sulfur Electrons and Neutrons

A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons and 16 protons.

Most sulfur atoms, but not all, have 16 neutrals also... but some have more and some have less!

See the Related Questions link for more information

Over 95% of sulfur atoms have 16 neutrons (to go with its 16 protons).

However, stable isotopes of sulfur exist with 18 neutrons (just under 5% of all sulfur atoms), as well as 17 and 20 neutrons (together equaling about 1%).

Interestingly, sulfur atoms with 19 neutrons have been created in the laboratory; that version is radioactive, with a half life of just under three months.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in sulfur?

There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
