Question
Sulphur has an atomic number 16 and a mass 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.
Solution
Atomic number = 16
Atomic mass = 32
Number of protons = 16
Number of electrons = 16
Number of neutrons = 32 - 16 = 16
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 6
