Carbon is a non metal element. There are 12 electrons in a single atom.
Sulfur-33 has 16 electrons since it is a neutral atom and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus for a neutral atom.
Sulfur-33 has 6 valence electrons. This is because sulfur is in Group 16 of the periodic table, which means it has 6 valence electrons. The atomic number 33 indicates the total number of electrons in the atom.
A sulfide ion (S2-) has 16 protons. This is because the sulfide ion carries a charge of -2, indicating that it has gained two extra electrons, and thus has 16 protons in its nucleus as the number of protons always determines the element.
Group 1 - 1 valence electron Group 2 - 2 valence electrons Group 13 - 3 valence electrons Group 14 - 4 valence electrons Group 15 - 5 valence electrons Group 16 - 6 valence electrons Group 17 - 7 valence electrons Group 18 - 8 valence electrons Groups 3 - 12 technically have 2 valence electrons, but will also use d sublevel electrons as valence electrons as well. So their number of valence electrons vary (even for the same element) and require some memorization.
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.
16 - it is same as te atomic number of element
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.

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 16 electrons, 2 shells and 4 neutrons and protons.
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.
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
Sulfur has three shells.
16 electrons
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.
The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.
