Answer the following questions if the mass number of sulphur atom is 3

1.	Answer the following questions if the mass number of sulphur atom is 32.(i) what is the valency of sulphur?(ii) draw the atomic structure of S-²(iii) which will be more stable: S- atom or S‐²? give reason (iv) find the number of neutrons present in sulphur atom.(v) An element M reacts with sulphur to form MS. what will be the valency M?
Answer» (I) in ORDER to achieve stability, sulfur has to gain 2 ELECTRONS. Therefore, the valency of sulphur is 2. (iii) S‐² (IV) 16
