The element sulfar has an atomic number of 16 and an atomtic mass of 32. how many neutrons are in the necleus of a sulfar atom?

Atomic Mass= no. of proton + no. of neutron.
Atomic number = no. of proton.
Therefore, no. of neutron = atomic mass- atiomic number.
no. of neutron of Sulfar atom = 32 - 16
= 16

∙ 11y agoI am guessing that Sulfur 32 has 16 protons and electrons so the neutrons must be 17 or 18, i must put that i do not know this so it would help if anyone does, to add that to this comment. Thanks :)

What element is in period 5 and is a transition element and has 51 neutrons?
The isotope of zirconim, 91Zr, has 51 neutrons. In order to solve this problem, one must know that an element's atomic weight is the average of its number of protons and neutrons (only neutrons are variable). Since the atomic number is the number of protons, the atomic number subtracted from the atomic weight gives the number of neutrons. An element in period 5 that has this many neutrons is found to be zirconium (the isotope 91Zr).
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
How much neutrons are in xenon?
Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of xenon is 54. For the list of xenon isotopes see the link below.
How can you calculate the number of neutrons N in an atom?
equal to number of protons
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
What tells the number of protons and neutrons in the necleus?
The atomic number
What is the number of protons in the necleus?
# of protons = # of electrons # of protons/ electrons + # of neutrons = atomic mass
Why is the atomtic mass of element an average mass?
The atomic mass of an element is the average of all the isotopes of that element that exist on this earth, either naturally or artificially. An isotope is an atom that differs in the number of neutrons that it would normally have (which is usually the same as the number of protons it has, except in the case of hydrogen).
How many neutrons dose hassium have?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of hassium is 108; each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass.
What equation is used to calculate neutrons for an element?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
What element has an atomic mass of 8 and 8 neutrons?
the element that has 8 neutrons is Oxygen
What is the number of neutrons for a specific element equal to?
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
How many neutrons does suflur have?
Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of any element you get what?
Atomic mass= Atomic no. + no. of neutrons So when the atomic no. is subtracted from the atomic mass, the result would be equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.
What is an element's atomic mass?
protons + neutrons
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
How do you calculate neutrons for elements in the periodic table?
them mass number of an element is the total amount of nuetrons and protons in the element , and the atomic number is the amount of protons ( and electrons) in the element simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number and you'll have the number of neutrons in the element hope this helped x
