How many electron shells would at atom have if it had 16 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.
Are the outer shells of biologically important atoms full when they contain 16 electrons?
16
What does the group of the periodic have to do with reactivity?
The table was organized so that elements of similar properties are in the same group. What (partly) determines reactivity is the number of electrons an atom has in it's ground state. . Within the atom electrons are organized in shells. Atoms are stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (for hydrogen and helium it is 2 electrons.) . Elements of: Group 18 have 8 electrons in their outer shells Group 17 have 7 electrons in their outer shells Group 16 have 6 electrons in their outer shells Group 15 have 5 electrons in their outer shells Group 14 have 4 electrons in their outer shells Group 13 have 3 electrons in their outer shells Groups 3-12 have varied number of electrons in their outer shells Group 2 have 2 electrons in their outer shells Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells
How many shells are in a sulfur atom?
Sulfur has three shells.
How many electrons are there in an ion of S²?
Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Thus, a neutral sulfur atom would have 16 protons and 16 electrons. Since we're talking about S2-, we need to add 2 electrons to that, giving us 20 total.
16 electrons need how many shells?
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.
How many electron shells would at atom have if it had 16 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.
How many electrons are found in the clouds surrounding the nucleus of sulfur?
16 - it is same as te atomic number of element
How many electron shells and how many valence electrons are in an atom of an element found in period 3 and group 16 of the periodic table?
This element is sulfur; the electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne]3s23p4. Sulfur has three electron shells cotaining 2, 8 and 6 electrons. The last six are valence electrons.
Are the outer shells of biologically important atoms full when they contain 16 electrons?
16
What is different in number of shells in magnesium and sulphur?
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
An oxygen atom has?
an oxygen atom has 16 electrons, 2 shells and 4 neutrons and protons.
Number of energy level in sulfur?
Sulfur has three energy levels, which can accommodate up to 16 electrons. The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 6 electrons.

How many shells are in a sulfur atom?
Sulfur has three shells.
How many electrons are there in ion os S2?
Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Therefore, neutral sulfur has 16 protons and 16 electrons. Since we're dealing with S2-, we need to add 2 electrons to that, giving 18 total.
How many electrons are in sulfur?
16 electrons
