Expert Answer
(a) No. of protons = atomic number = 16
No. of electrons = no. of protons = 16
No. of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number
= 32 - 16
= 16
(b) Electronic configuration of element: 2, 8, 6
So, Valency = 8 - no. of valence electrons
= 8 - 6
= 2
(c)The element is a non metal because it has 6 valence electrons and hence belongs to group 16.
