State the number of valence electrons in an atom of sulfur

-

The number of valence electrons in sulfur = 6

Explanation: -

Atomic number of sulfur = 16

The number of electrons = 16

The electronic configuration of sulfur = [Ne] 3s²3p⁴

The number of valence electrons in sulfur = Number of electrons present in 3s + number of electrons present in 3p

= 2 + 4 = 6

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
