  • Sulfur Atom Composition: Protons, Electrons & Neutrons
    Here's the breakdown of protons, electrons, and neutrons in sulfur:

    * Protons: 16

    * Electrons: 16 (in a neutral atom)

    * Neutrons: 16

    Explanation:

    * Atomic Number: Sulfur's atomic number is 16. This means it has 16 protons in its nucleus.

    * Neutral Atom: A neutral atom has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

    * Mass Number: Sulfur's most common isotope has a mass number of 32. This is the sum of protons and neutrons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the mass number (32 - 16 = 16).
