* 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).
