18
C
20
D
22
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sulphur has proton number of 16 and 18 electrons. Atomic symbol of Sulfur ion is. ( S 2-16 34 ) .

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: There are 17 protons in an ion with 18 electrons and a-1 charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the ion contains two excess electrons as compared to the number of protons. Hence, the number of electrons in the ion = (16+2) = 18. Correct answer: (b) 18.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The atomic number of sulfur is 16. The ion has 18 electrons that mean sulfur carries the charge of-2.
