They have a charge of e.

They are on orbitals.

They are localized.

The valence electrons are happy because they are in a circle of 8 good electron friends.

How does a sulfur atom become a sulfur ion?

A sulfur atom becomes a sulfur ion by losing or gaining electrons. If a sulfur atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged sulfur ion (sulfur cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged sulfur ion (sulfur anion).


How many electrons are in an ion of sulfur (S2)?

18 electrons


How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?

A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.


How many electrons and protons are found in sulfur ion if the symbol for sulfur is 32 16 S2?

In a sulfur ion with a charge of 2-, there are 18 electrons (16 from the neutral sulfur atom and two additional electrons to account for the negative charge). The number of protons remains the same as in a neutral sulfur atom, which is 16.


What is the ion notation for sulfur with 18 electrons?

The ion notation for sulfur with 18 electrons would be S2-. This means that sulfur has gained two extra electrons to achieve a full octet, giving it a -2 charge.


How many electrons will sulfur gain from forming an ion?

Sulfur typically gains 2 electrons to form an ion with a -2 charge.


What is the correct Symbols for sulfur ion with 18 electrons?

The correct symbol for a sulfur ion with 18 electrons would be S^2-. This means the ion has gained 2 extra electrons, giving it a total of 18 electrons and a 2- charge.


What is true about electronic in a sulfur ion?

The electronic configuration of sulfur ion (S)2- is: 1s22s22p63s23p6.


Which noble gas is isoelectronic with a sulfur ion?

S2- ion is isoelectronic with argon (with 18 electrons).


How many electrons does a sulfur atom lose to form an ion?

they both gain 2 electrons becoming the anions Oxide and Sulfide, O2- and S2-


Would sulfur gain or lose an electron when forming an ion?

Sulfur can both gain and lose electrons when forming ions. It can gain two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2-) or lose two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2+).


How many valence electrons are in a sulfur atom and a sulfide ion?

A sulfur atom has 6 valence electrons, while a sulfide ion has 8 valence electrons because it gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
