Question

Sulfur (S) has 16 protons and 16 neutrons. How many electron shells does an element of sulfur have?

Answer 1

Shell 1 = 2 electrons

Shell 2 = 8 electrons

Shell 3 = 6 electrons

Answer 2

sulphur's atomic no is 16 which indicates that sulphur contains 16 electrons and 16 protons.

Answer 3

Next time, please post this on the chemistry forum.

Answer 4

mass no=no of protons+no of neutrons.
atomic no=no of electrons=no of protons

Answer 5

16 electrons

Answer 6

3 shell

Answer 7

you can just check the periodic table ,it is in the 3rd row

Answer 8

Electron Configuration of S;
\[1s ^{2} 2s ^{2} 2p ^{6} 3s ^{2} 3p ^{4}\]
