Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. It is in group 16 of the Periodic Table, so it has 6 electrons in its outer shell.
There r 16 electrons in s, sulfur. There r only 6 valence electrons
Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons in its neutral state. Sulfur-32 (S-32) would have the same number of valence electrons because the number of protons (which determines the element's identity) remains the same in isotopes.
Selenium. As you go across the groups, not counting the transition metals, a valence electron is added.
The sulfite ion (SO3^2-) has 18 valence electrons. There are six valence electrons from the sulfur atom (Group 16, 6 valence electrons) and four valence electrons from each of the three oxygen atoms (Group 16, 6 valence electrons each).
c=4 valence electrons S=6 valence electrons but since its S2 you times 6 by 2=12 12+4=16 16 valence electrons total for CS2

Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons. The S2- ion gains two electrons, bringing the total to 8 valence electrons.

In total there are 16 from the sulfur atom and 36 from the four fluorin atoms, making 52 in all. In drawing the Lewis dot diagram you would ignore only consider the valence electrons 6 from sulfur and 1 from eeach of the four fluorines making 10 in all, giving 5 electron pairs around the sulfur atom.
In the dot structure for H2S, there are two hydrogen atoms bonded to a sulfur atom. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron, so a total of 8 valence electrons are used in the structure. The sulfur atom has two lone pairs of electrons.
Sulfur (S) is the representative element in period 4 with six valence electrons.
well "s" is sulfur and to get the answer (btw this rule only applies to groups 1,2,13,14,15,16,17, and 18) you need to see what group it is in and drop the 1 from it so sulfur is in group 16 so it has 6 valence electrons. - hope this helped
H:S:H : counts for two electrons that form a bond. ***There are also two electrons (or one bond) above Sulfur and below.All in all, sulfur possess 6 valence electrons while each hydrogen has one valence electron thus, satisfying the octet rule.
