Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, so it has 16 protons. protons + neutrons = atomic weight, which, in this case, is 35. So, 35-16=19.

16 protons, 19 neutrons

ANSWER:

16 protons and 19 neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic number or proton number of a chemical element is the number of protons located in the nucleus of an atom. It is same as the charge number of the nucleus

Sulfur possesses an atomic number of 16, so it owns 16 protons.

protons + neutrons = atomic weight,

35-16=19. So sulfur has 16 protons and 19 neutrons
