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.
This number also tell us the number of protons in that atom. So we know that a sulfur ATOM has 16 protons. Usuall y ATOMS are always electrical neutral. ........That means that the number of protons (+ charges) and the number of electrons (-negative charges) must be the same.In the case of sulfur, a sulfur atom has 16 protons and 16 electrons.hen that happens, sulfur calles itself sulf-IDE (sulfide), it now has 2 more electrons.... 2 + 16 = 18 electrons, the number of protons does not change it is still 16. let's add it up -18 +16 = -2 the sulfide has a -2 charge.
