Sulphur has an atomic number 16 and mass number 32,state the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of sulphur.

Open in App

Solution

Atomic number(Z)=16
Mass number(A)=32
Atomic number(Z)=Number of protons=Number of electrons=16
Number of neutrons(n)=(A-Z)=32-16=16
Therefore,the number of protons in sulphur are 16 and number of neutrons in sulphur are 16.
