  • Sulfur-34 vs. Sulfur-32: Neutron Count and Atomic Structure
    Sulfur-34 has more neutrons than sulfur-32.

    Here's why:

    * Atomic Number: Sulfur (S) has an atomic number of 16, meaning every sulfur atom has 16 protons.

    * Mass Number: The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

    * Sulfur-32: Has a mass number of 32, meaning it has 16 protons (atomic number) and 16 neutrons (32 - 16 = 16).

    * Sulfur-34: Has a mass number of 34, meaning it has 16 protons (atomic number) and 18 neutrons (34 - 16 = 18).

    Therefore, sulfur-34 has 2 more neutrons than sulfur-32.
