The question is cut off in the picture
It can form a covalent bond with a hydrogen bond that has one valence electron to have eight valence electrons and become stable.
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.
