That number tells us that if we have a sulfur atom, it will contain 16 protons in its nucleus. Now, a molecule is when we have two or more atoms, it doesn't matter what type, bonded together covalently. So, a sulfur molecule is simply a molecule that contains only sulfur atoms bonded together, like S₂ or S₈.
