Detailed explanation-1: -The superscripts associated with these orbitals total to 6. Therefore, sulfur has 6 valence electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus Sulphur requires two more electrons in order to complete its octet, hence its valency is 2.
Detailed explanation-3: -The atomic number of Sulfur is 16. The electronic configuration of Sulfur can be written as. The valence electrons are the sum of the electrons in the outermost shell, that is two electrons and four electrons which gives a total of six valence electrons.
Detailed explanation-4: -The total number of electrons present in last shell orbit is known as valence electron. For example: Oxygen has 6 electrons present in last orbital shell hence 6 is valence electron.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, sulfur has six Valence electrons.
