Sulfur has 16 electrons. It also has 16 neutrons and 16 protons. Sulfur has the chemical symbol S and is a non-metal. It belongs to group 16 on the periodic table. Sulfur is yellow in color, and its atomic weight is 32.07 grams per mole. Sulfur has a melting point of 115.21 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 444.60 degrees Celsius.Although ancient civilizations knew about sulfur, it was not until the late 1700s that it was considered an element.
An atom always has the same number of protons as electrons so there are 16 electrons also. The difference between the mass number and atomic number (32 - 16) is the number of neutrons so Sulphur has 16 neutrons also. We can ignore the mass of the electrons.
