OpenStudy (anonymous):

now if you look on the provided periodic table find S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by looking at the whole number which is the atomic number we see that it is 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then looking at the decimal number we see approximately 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the atomic mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

atomic mass comes from the number of protons and neutrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by subtracting the atomic number from the mass since atomic number is the number of protons we get the number of neutrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and we get 16 so the number of neutrons is 16
