Sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons and 16 neutrons. Find out the mass number of Sulphur atom.

Open in App

Solution

Mass number of an atom = no of protons + no of neutrons
Atomic number of Sulphur = 16
Number of protons = 16
Number of neutrons = 16
Hence the mass number of an Sulphur atom = 16+ 16= 32
