What is the symbol of an ion with 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons? what is the symbol for an ion that has 16 pro-tons, 16 neutrons, and 18 electrons?

When we go to periodic table, Sulfur is an element that has 16 protons and 16 electrons.

when there is 18 electrons, with number of two electrons more than protons. This makes it an ion and the ion has a -2 charge.

So when there is16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons the symbol is S⁻².

The neutrons have no charge but they add only mass to the elements. So when there is 16 neutrons, it doesn't change the symbol of ion.

  super sorry but i dont know lo

There is no reason to think the results are biased or not conducted properly but you should not assume the results are correct just because they were done in a laboratory so the answer would be c. it is likely to be reliable because the results support the conclusion presented.
