Question

question 3 (1 point) charge7. what is the charge on a sulfur ion that contains 18 electrons? -2 -1 -3 +2 +3 +1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall sulfur's atomic number

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, which means it has 16 protons.

Step2: Determine charge based on electrons - protons

The ion has 18 electrons and 16 protons. Charge = number of protons - number of electrons. So, charge = 16 - 18=-2.
