The element is sulfur
. This can be determined by looking at the number of
protons
. The element has a valence shell of
16
and
6
valence electrons.

This can be determined by looking at the number of protons.

Explanation:

The atomic number which is the number of protons is the best indicator of what an element is.

Based on the number of protons in an atom, elements are arranged in a definite grouping on the periodic table.

This because, atoms do not readily give off their protons so, it is a good measure of the type of atom one might be dealing with.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
