make up a sulfide ion?
a. 18 protons, 18 neutrons, and 16 elections
b. 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons
c. 18 protons, 16 neutrons, and 16 electronis
d. 14 protons, 18 neutrons, and 16 electrons
e. 15 protons, 17 neutrons, and 17 electronis

Answer:

b. 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons

Explanation:

Things to be remembered

Negative charge on any ionic species indicates gained the electrons

Positive charge on any ionic species indicates lost the electrons

A sulfur atom has 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 16 electrons, A sulfide ion has a 2– charge which indicates that sulphur has gained two electron from any other atom, ion or species!

The correct answer is B. Because the number of atoms it has is 16. We also know that it has 2- charge
