Sulfur contains atoms in three energy shells.
A sulfur atom has three electron shells. The electron configuration of sulfur is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴, indicating that there are two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second shell, and six in the third shell. This arrangement corresponds to sulfur's atomic number of 16.
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.
Electrons occupy shells around an atomic nucleus based on the principles of quantum mechanics. The maximum number of electrons that can fit in a shell is given by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the shell level. For 16 electrons, they would fit into the first four shells: the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8, the third can hold 18, and the fourth can hold 32. Therefore, 16 electrons would need 4 shells to accommodate them fully.

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.

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.
A neutral xenon atom would have 54 electrons filled in its electron shells.
