One.
some atoms have 5, some have none. the max is 5
A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons.
Zero. Sulfur has six valence electrons, all of which pair up into three orbitals.
Two orbitals.
2 full orbitals, S and P
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
The element sulfur is element number 16, and has 6 electrons in the 3rd orbital level : 3s2, 3p4.
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.
Shells: 3 Orbitals: 9
