Question 15

Sulphur has an atomic number 16 and mass number of 32. State the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of sulphur. Give a simple diagram to show the arrangement of electrons in an atom of sulphur.

Answer

Given, Atomic number = 16 and mass number = 32

So, Number of protons = 16

Number of electrons = 16

Number of neutrons = 32 – 16 = 16

Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 6

Below diagram shows the arrangement of the electrons in an atom of sulphur:
