Which statement accurately describes the atoms of an atom of Sulfur 10 points with a mass number of 33? A) There are 16 particles inside of the nucleus and 17 particles outside of the nucleus B) There are 33 particles inside of the nucleus and 33 particles outside of the nucleus. C) There are 17 particles inside of the nucleus and 17 particles outside of the nucleus. D) There are 33 particles inside of the nucleus and 16 particles outside of the nucleus.

D) There are 33 particles inside of the nucleus and 16 particles outside of the nucleus.

Explanation:

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16. The atomic number represents the number of protons, so sulfur has 16 protons.

This atom of sulfur has a mass number of 33. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. Then, the number of neutrons is 33 - 16 = 17

Sulfur is a neutral atom. Therefore, it has the same number of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Thus, sulfur has 16 electrons.

Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and electrons are outside the nucleus.

Taking all the above into account, the correct answer is:

D) There are 33 particles inside of the nucleus and 16 particles outside of the nucleus.
