What is the number of protons in a atom of an element?
The number of protons in an element is equal to the atomic number. (dont mix this up with atomic mass. It is simply the large number that appears usually in the top left hand corner on the periodic table. For example, Lithium has 3 protons. Sulfur has 16 protons and so forth)
How many protons in an atom of sulfar?
Sulfur is element number 16. this means it has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and if you subtract the mass number of 32, this means there is 16 neutrons. PS: even thought the mass number is 32.06, its because the mass of the proton and the neutron isn't exactly 1. Although pretty close
What is the name mass number and atomic number of an element with 16 protons and 16 neutrons?
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
If an atom contains 15 protons it must contain?
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
What element has 7 protons and a mass number of 16?
Only an atom of nitrogen can have exactly 7 protons in each nucleus.
What is the atomic number of an atom with 16 protons?
16 The atomic number of an element is always the same as the number of protons in an atom of the element.
What is in an atom of sulfur?
Sulfur is an element. An atom is the smallest division of an element that remains the same element--any further division of the element divides it into its atomic particles. The most common isotope of a sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
What element has 16 protons and 15 neutrons?
The element is sulfur and the isotope is 16S31
An atom of this element has 10 more protons than an atom of sulfur?
The element with 10 more protons than sulfur is argon. Sulfur has 16 protons, while argon has 18 protons.
What number of protons in one atom of an element is that element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
How do you determine the number of protons in the nucleus?
The number of protons in an atom determines the chemical identity of that atom. (And only that, by the way.) We use the atomic number to state the exact number of protons in all atoms of a given element. Hydrogen has the atomic number 1 because every atom of hydrogen has exactly one proton. Also, every atom with exactly one proton is hydrogen. Helium is atomic number 2, and the same thing applies. All helium atoms have exactly 2 protons, and all atoms with exactly 2 protons are helium atoms. To determine the number of protons in a given atom, look at which element it is and find it on the periodic table or on a list of the elements. Then find its atomic number, which will be the exact number of protons in every atom of that element.

What element contains 16 protons?
what element contains 16 protons? what element contains 10 protons?
Oxygen 16 protons?
No. Oxygen has 8 protons. The element with 16 protons is sulfur. Oxygen-16 is the most common isotope of oxygen. The 16 refers to its atomic weight, which is the result of there being 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
