What is the 16th element?
Sulfur is a chemical element that is represented with the chemical symbol “S” and the atomic number 16 on the periodic table.
What is the element with 16 electrons?
Sulfur
How to Write the Electron Configuration for Sulfur (S) In order to write the Sulfur electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the S atom (there are 16 electrons). When we write the configuration we’ll put all 16 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Sulfur atom.
What two elements have 16 neutrons?
if you look at the periodic table, phosphorus has 15 electrons and protons, and 16 neutrons.
Where can I find Sulphur?
Elemental sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanic regions in many parts of the world, especially along the Pacific Ring of Fire; such volcanic deposits are currently mined in Indonesia, Chile, and Japan.
Where is Sulphur found?
Sulfur is found both in its native form and in metal sulfide ores. It occurs in its native form in the vicinity of volcanoes and hot springs. Sulfur is the 10th most abundant element, and it is found in meteorites, in the ocean, in the earth’s crust, in the atmosphere, and in practically all plant and animal life.
What ion has 16 protons?
sulfur (S)
(b) By referring to a periodic table or a table of elements, we see that sulfur (S) has an atomic number of 16. Thus, each atom or ion of sulfur must contain 16 protons.
Why does sulfur have 16 electrons?
Neutral sulfur has 16 electrons because its atomic number is 16. What does this configuration tell us? Sulfur has two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and six electrons in the 2p orbitals.
What does group 16 have in common?
It consists of the elements oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium. These can be found in nature in both free and combined states. The group 16 elements are intimately related to life. We need oxygen all the time throughout our lives.
What atom has 16 neutrons in its nucleus?
Phosphorus
Atomic Structure The most common stable isotope of Phosphorus has 16 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an atomic mass of 31. Phosphorus is in Period 3 of the Periodic Table because it has 3 electron shells.
What is phosphorus atomic number?
15
