Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16,16,18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

An element can be represented as \({ }_Z^A X\). where, \(X=\) symbol of element \(Z=\) atomic number or number of protons \(A=\) mass number \(=\) sum of number of protons and neutrons Therefore, for \({ }_{16}^{32} \mathrm{~S}^{-2}\), number of protons \(=16\), number of…
