The atomic number of sulfur is 16. What is the distribution of electrons in a neutral
atom of sulfur?
The first energy level has 2 and the second has 14.
The first energy level has 2, the second has 8, and the third has 6.
The first, second, and third energy levels have 5 electrons each, and the fourth
has 1.
The first energy level has 8 and the second has 8.
The electron arrangement cannot be determined from the atomic number alone.
