Sulfur has 16 electrons. It also has 16 neutrons and 16 protons. Sulfur has the chemical symbol S and is a non-metal. It belongs to group 16 on the periodic table. Sulfur is yellow in color, and its atomic weight is 32.07 grams per mole. Sulfur has a melting point of 115.21 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 444.60 degrees Celsius.Although ancient civilizations knew about sulfur, it was not until the late 1700s that it was considered an element.
Best Answer: you are correct that protons determine the element's identity. Mg-24 and Mg-26 both have 12 protons but the 24 and 26 are the number of protons plus neutrons. Mg-24 has 12 protons and 12 neutrons, while Mg-26 has 12 protons and 14 neutrons. elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Mg will always have 12 protons...if you change the number of protons, you change the element. Mg-24 and Mg-26 are two different isotopes of magnesium.
