See the explanation.

Explanation:

A sulfur atom(S) has #16# protons and #16# electrons, while a chlorine atom(Cl) has #17# proton and #17# electrons.

So, the atomic number of S is #16# and that of Cl is #17#.
The atomic number is always an integer, and there is no integer between 16 and 17.
This is the reason that no element exists between sulfur and chlorine.
