A (slightly tongue-in-cheek) tally of the bodyâs many muscles. updated November 28 2014 (first published 2004). by Paul Ingraham, Vancouver, Canadaâbio I am a science writer, the Assistant Editor of ScienceBasedMedicine.org, and a former Registered Massage Therapist with a decade of experience treating tough pain cases.
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.
The Atomic Mass is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. So S-32 has an Atomic number of 16 therefore 16 protons and 16 electrons -The positive protons are balanced by an equal number of negative electrons. Mass number is 32 = protons+neutrons; take away the 16 protons and you are left with 32-16 = 16 neutrons. Now S-34 Is still sulphur so its number of protons is STILL 16 and so the number of electrons is STILL 16. The number of neutrons is 34-16=18. I think that the 88% fooled you - it is an unnecessary fact in this question.
