Question

Draw Bohr model of atom with atomic number 16 and name the element. What is the valency of the atom? What type of ion does it form and what will be the value of the charge on the ion produced? Justify the answer.

Answer 1

Sulphur is the element having atomic number 16. Its valency is 6 and forms anion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulphur is the element having atomic number 16 and mass number 32 which means sulphur has 16 proton, 16 electron and 16 neutron. 2 electrons are present in the first shell, 8 electrons are present in the second shell and 6 electrons are present in the outermost shell. Sulphur requires 2 electrons to become stable so that's why sulphur take 2 electrons and become anion. its valency is 6 which means 6 electrons are present in the outermost shell of sulphur atom.
