firstly the protons are in the nucleus of an atom. there are 16 protons there. the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. the electron arrangement is as follows:

first shell-2 electrons

second shell - 8 electrons

third shell - 6 electrons

this can also be written as 2,8,6

How many electrons are in the outer shell for sulfur?

Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.


Which element has 2 electrons in first shell and 6 in second?

Sulphur (Sulfur in the US) Location of electrons is not important to determine which element it is. 16 electorns means that it would have 16 protons in it's nucleus, so 16 is atomic number of the element. It would have 16 neutrons in it's nucleus too (it is usually one neutron for each proton), which make atomic weight of this element equal to 32.

What isotope has 16 neutrons 16 protons and 16 electrons?

Sulfur-32 has 16 protons, neutrons and electrons each.


What is the number of electrons protons and neutrons of Sulfur?

Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons and 16, 17, 18 or 20 neutrons ( the number of neutrons is different for each isotope).


What is the numbers of electrons in each shell?

According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.

What element has more than one shell occupied by electrons but still has the same amount of electrons in each shell?

Sulfur (S) has 6 electrons in its outermost shell and 2 electrons in its innermost shell, but the next shell also has 6 electrons, making it an example of having more than one shell occupied by electrons while still having the same number of electrons in each shell.


What would be the charge on a particle of Sulfur-33 with 18 electrons?

The charge on a particle of Sulfur-33 with 18 electrons would be -15, as the number of protons in sulfur-33 is 16. Since electrons have a negative charge of -1 each, 16 protons (positive charge) neutralized by 16 electrons would result in a net charge of -15.


What is the number of subatomic particles in sulfur?

Sulfur has 16 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope: Number of neutrons in a sulfur isotope = Mass number - 16


How many protons electrons neutrons does sulfur have?

Well, honey, sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons, and usually 16 neutrons. But hey, sometimes sulfur can have a different number of neutrons in its isotopes, so don't get too comfortable with that number. Just keep an eye out for those sneaky isotopes, darling.


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
