If we remove an electron from a stable atom, the atom becomes electrically incomplete/unbalanced. That is, there are more protons in the nucleus (positive charges) than there are electrons (negative charges). With an electron removed, the atom possesses a plus one charge, therefore it is a positive ion.
The atomic number of sulfur = 16. Hence, in the Sulfur nucleus, 16 protons and 16 electrons (revolving the nucleus).
Now, if 2 protons and 2 electrons are removed from sulfur then number of protons = (16-2) = 14 and number of electrons = (16-2) = 14.
So, the new element has 14 protons and 14 electrons. Silicon atom has 14 protons and 14 electrons. So, the new element is Si.
