a sulfur atom is specified.
explanation:
the electronic configuration is put in to distract you. if there are are 16 electrons in the neutral atom, there are nuclear protons, i. e.
z
=
16
. if
z
=
16
, the element is
sulfur
.

Number of proton present in the nucleus of an atom of sulfur is 16.

Explanation:

Protons, neutrons and electrons are subatomic particles of an atom.

Atomic number of an atom is equal to the total number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.

Z = total number of protons

Atomic mass of an atom is defined as sum of the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

In neutral atom there are equal number of protons and electron.

A = number of proton + number of neutrons

According to question, there are 16 electrons in neutral atom of Sulfur.

in a neutral atom:

Number of electrons = Number of protons = 16

Number of proton present in the nucleus of an atom of sulfur is 16.

8

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
