Question

the atomic number of sulphur is 16 and mass number 32. the number of electron's and proton in s2 is 6

Answer 1

Answer: The number of electrons and protons in $S_2$ molecule are 16 each.

Explanation: There are 3 subatomic particles: Electrons, Neutrons and Protons.

Atomic number of an element = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given atomic number as 16, so number of electrons will be equal to number of protons which is equal to 16.

Hence, in $S_2$ molecule, numer of electrons and protons are 16 each.
