Answer: D i think
Explanation: Im sorry if it is wrong lol!! I pretty sure thats the answer...
16 protons
Explanation: S2-: proton number 16; nucleon number 32
There are 16 protons (from the proton number). If it was a neutral atom, there would be 16 electrons.
It forms covalent compounds
Answer:
The charge carried by each ion (oxidation state of each atom)
Explanation:
If we have an ionic compound and we want to write its formula, we must first know the magnitude of charge on each ion (shown as oxidation state of the atoms involved) because the magnitude of charge on each ion is eventually crisscrossed and gives the subscript (number of atoms) for each atom in the formula.
For instance, let us write the formula of calcium bromide. Ca has a charge of +2 while Br has a charge of -1. If we exchange the charges and ignore the signs such that the crisscrossed charges form subscripts we can now write; 
.
Answer:
High melting point,High density,Nonreactive
Explanation:
The following are the Properties of transition elements:
They have large charge/radius ratio. They are harder and they have high densities;.They have high melting and boiling points.They form compounds which are paramagnetic. They show variable oxidation states. They form colored ions and compounds. Compounds are formed with profound catalytic activity. Stable complexes are formed by them.
When Comparing with the alkali metals present in group 1 and the alkaline Earth metals that are present in group 2, the transition metals are considered to be much less reactive. They do not react fast with water or oxygen, which contributes to their resistance to corrosion.
