    Solution:

    The atomic number is equal to number of protons = 16.

    The element is S.

    Atomic mass number  = 

    number of protons + number of neutrons 

    = 16 + 16 = 32. 

    The species is not neutral as the number of protons is not equal to number of electrons. It is negatively charged with charge equal to excess of electrons 

    = 18 – 16 = 2. 

     The symbol of the species is S 2- 1632
