Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sulfur has four electrons around it in this structure (one from each of its four bonds) which is two electrons more than the number of valence electrons it would have normally, and as such it carries a formal charge of +2.
Detailed explanation-2: -4. Sulphur can form six bonds due to the presence of vacant 3d-orbitals which get occupied on excitation and create six orbitals with unpaired electrons that become available for bonding. Q.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, the electron configuration for atomic sulfur is [Ne]3s23p4, thus there are six valence electrons.
