How many protons are in the nucleus of sulfur (S)?
There are 16 protons in an atom of sulfur. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about the atom being "neutral" is unnecessary.
Which atom composed of 16 protons 16 electrons and 16 neutrons?
The atom composed of 16 protons, 16 electrons, and 16 neutrons is sulfur. Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, which determines the number of protons and electrons, and the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass number.
What do isotopes allotropes and isomers have in common?
Isotopes, allotropes, and isomers are all different forms of the same element or compound that have distinct atomic structures or arrangement of atoms. They have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons (isotopes), bonding arrangements (allotropes), or structural arrangement (isomers).
What is the total number of protons neutrons and electrons in Na2SO4 assuming 23Na 32S and 16O?
We know that sodium is atomic number 11, and it has 11 protons, 11 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 12 neutrons in its sodium-23 isotope. Sulfur is atomic number 16, and will have 16 protons, 16 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 16 neutrons in it sulfur-32 isotope. Oxygen has atomic number 8, and has 8 protons, 8 electrons (in a neutral atom) and will have 8 neutrons in its oxygen 16 isotope. If we take 2 sodium atoms, a sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms, we'll have a total of 70 protons, 72 neutrons and 70 electrons in sum.
How many protons are there in an atom of sulfur-34?
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Sulfur's atomic number is 16. Thus, any isotope of sulfur will have 16 protons.
