Sulfur contains atoms in three energy shells.
Metals are the elements that usually lose electrons in their chemical reactions. This is because they have few electrons in their outermost shells which are easily lost.
An atom with 16 electrons would have 3 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third shell can hold up to 8 electrons.
Radon is a non metal element. There are 86 electrons in a single atom.
This question is unclear. If you mean 3 full electron shells and nothing else, then it would be argon. But every element after argon has 3 full electron shells also, but they also have other shells with electrons. If you mean a full 3rd energy shell such as in having 3d10 electrons, then it would be Zn but Zn also has 4s2 electrons. So, the question is a vague one.

Metals are the elements that usually lose electrons in their chemical reactions. This is because they have few electrons in their outermost shells which are easily lost.
A neutral xenon atom has 54 electrons. Two of its electron shells would be completely filled, with 2 and 8 electrons, leaving 44 electrons in the remaining electron shells.
There will be three electron shells with 2, 8 and 3 electrons (from 1st to 3rd shell).
10 electrons would need 2 shells to accommodate them. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, while the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons.
An atom with 16 electrons would have 3 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third shell can hold up to 8 electrons.
5 shells and no electrons would be left over.
Radon is a non metal element. There are 86 electrons in a single atom.
16 electrons would fill up the first four shells in an atom: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, 4 electrons in the third shell, and 2 electrons in the fourth shell.

That would be Neils Bohr
If the K and L shells of an atom are full, the atom will have 18 electrons. The K shell can hold 2 electrons and the L shell can hold 8 electrons, totaling 10 electrons in both shells. Therefore, if both the K and L shells are full, there will be 18 electrons in the atom.
