Electron arrangement makes it easy to know the number of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. Carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, argon, sulfur and magnesium have 4, 1, 7, 8, 6 and 2 electrons in their outermost energy levels respectively.
Sulfur is 16 I think so 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3d4. 1st level would be 2. 2nd level would be 8.(2s2=2p6) 3rd would be 6 as well.
2p6 means
2=level
p=orbital
6=Electrons in the orbital
Sulfur has six valence electrons.
Chlorine has one more electron then sulfur, so it has 1 more electron in the outer shell, 1 more valence electron. Chlorine has 5 electrons in the outermost shell and sulfur has 4.
Sulfur has two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and 6electrons in the 2 p orbitals. The electrons are part of the first and second energy levels, the electron core. The next energy level, the last one, is the outermost energy which comprises the valence shell.
Atoms of elements in Groups 13-18 have 10 fewer valence electrons than their groups numbers.However , helium atoms have only 2 valence electrons.
valence electrons
In case of sulphur there are 3 energy levels.The first one contains 2 electrons,the second one contains 8 electrons and the third one contains 6 electrons.So the atomic number is 16 and valence electron/number of electrons in the outermost shell is 6.
there are 6 valence electrons in the outermost energy levei
An atom of magnesium has two valence electron. It can have a full outer level by losing two electron. The second energy level becomes the outermost energy level with eight electrons.
6 electrons
Sulphur has 6 valence electrons
Sulfur has 6 electrons in the outermost energy level as its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 6.
In chemical bonding, only the valence shell electrons participate in reactions in general conditions. Sulfur has 6 electrons in its third energy level, outermost shell. Therefore the highest oxidation number for sulfur is +6.
Six.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Both have six valance electrons. That is what the number at the top of their column means.
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
6 valence electrons
Chlorine has one more electron then sulfur, so it has 1 more electron in the outer shell, 1 more valence electron. Chlorine has 5 electrons in the outermost shell and sulfur has 4.
