An element's atomic number gives it number of protons. Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Thus, it has 16 protons.
a proton has a positive cherge and a nuetron has a neutral charge
They have opposite charges.
They are equal in magnitude but opposite in charge.
Both have equal and opposite charges.
The proton number is the atomic number.
Sulfur has 16 Protons and 16 Elections.
Both of them are sub atomic particles. They have different charges on them.
Electrons are equal to protons in a neutral element. Using the atomic number to find sulfur's number of proton's one finds that sulfur has 16 protons. Thus, sulfur in its elemental form must also have 16 electrons.
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
The oxidation number of sulfur (S) in SO2 is +4. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2, so in order to balance the charges, sulfur must have an oxidation number of +4.
Positive.
Electron and Proton
a proton has a positive cherge and a nuetron has a neutral charge
The oxidation number for sulfur in Li2S is -2. In lithium sulfide (Li2S), each lithium atom has an oxidation number of +1, and since the compound is neutral overall, the total oxidation number for sulfur must be -2 to balance the charges.
The oxidation number of the sulfur atom in H2S is -2. Hydrogen is assigned an oxidation number of +1, and since the overall molecule has no charge (neutral), the oxidation number of sulfur must be -2 to balance the charges.
