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
In order to answer this question, a particular isotope of sulfur must be considered. The most common isotope is sulfur-32, which has 16 protons, 16 neutrons, and 16 electrons for a total of 48.
Calcium has 20 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a calcium atom = Mass number - 20
The two subatomic particles added together to determine the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but both contribute to the mass of an atom.
Sulfur is an element, and therefore is not "made of" anything, other than its constituent subatomic particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons).
In a reaction between iron and sulfur to form iron sulfide, the total number of particles remains the same before and after the reaction. This is due to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
In order to answer this question, a particular isotope of sulfur must be considered. The most common isotope is sulfur-32, which has 16 protons, 16 neutrons, and 16 electrons for a total of 48.

No, from 80 years.
Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.
The total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus
No, sodium is not a subatomic particle. Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The number of neutrons is different for isotopes.
Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of these particles is different for each isotope.
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of a chemical element.
The proton
Aluminium has 15 neutrons.
