the element sulfur?
A It has 17 neutrons
B It has more electrons than Argon
C Its symbol is Su
D It has 6 electrons on its third energy level

Answer:

Sulfur's atomic number is 16, meaning it has 16 protons and 16 electrons. This also rules out the statement "it has 17 neutrons". This also rules out the second statement "it has more electrons than argon". Argon's atomic number is 18, telling us it has 18 electrons and 18 protons. Of course, 16 is less than 18, so argon has more. Sulfur's atomic symbol is S, not Su, which doesn't even represent an element at all. This leaves us with the last statement "it has 6 electrons on its third energy level." This is true, as Sulfur does indeed have 6 electrons filling its third energy level.

Sulfur is an element with 6 electrons on its third energy level.

Sulfur

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 and a symbol of S.

This means that a neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons and 16 protons.

Argon, on the other hand, has an atomic number 18 with 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is, therefore, 2, 8, 6.

Meaning that there are 6 electrons on the third energy level of its orbitals.
