With the help of table, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.
From table,
Number of protons in an oxygen atom = 8
Number of neutrons in an oxygen atom=8
Mass number of oxygen = 8+8 = 16
Number of protons in a sulphur atom = 16
Number of neutrons in a sulphur atom =16
Mass number of a sulphur atom = 16+16 = 32
