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.
Best Answer: The charge will be 2-. Charges of an elements ions can be worked out by figuring out if the element will GAIN or LOSE electrons when they react. So Sulfur with electron configuration of 2,8,6 in its outter valance shell will need to GAIN two electrons to get 8, and have a stable outter shell.This will mean there are 2 more electrons then protons and the overall ion will have a negative charge. So S2- is the answer.harges of an elements ions can be worked out by figuring out if the element will GAIN or LOSE electrons when they react. So Sulfur with electron configuration of 2,8,6 in its outter valance shell will need to GAIN two electrons to get 8, and have a stable outter shell.
