Aneutral atom of sulfur has the following characteristics:

atomic number = 16

atomic mass = 32

determine the value of this atom's electrons, protons, and neutrons in the space provided.

proton number = 16

Electron number =16

Neutron number =16

Explanation: Mass number = 32

Atomic number = 16

atomic number = proton number = 16.

Since the atom is neutral, proton number is the same as electron number i.e Electron number = proton number =16

Mass number = proton + Neutron

32 = 16 + Neutron

Neutron = 32 — 16 = 16

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
