To determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a sulfur ion with a charge of S-2 let's first establish the standard atomic number and atomic mass for sulfur.
Sulfur's standard atomic number (number of protons) is 16.
Its standard atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) is approximately 32.066 atomic mass units.
Given that the ion has a charge of -2, it means that it has gained two extra electrons compared to its neutral state.
