Unless otherwise specified as an ion, protons = electrons

Atomic number = number of protons
Atomic weight/mass = protons + neutrons

Protons : 16
Electrons: 16

Neutrons = Weight-Atomic number = 32-16 = 16
Use your periodic table to determine the following information about the element Sulfur-example-1
