How many places are there for electrons in the innermost shell of an atom?

The innermost shell of an atom, also known as the K shell, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number of the shell. For the K shell, (n = 1), so (2(1^2) = 2). Therefore, there are 2 places for electrons in the innermost shell.

Why does sulfur have a valency of 4 and 6 when it needs only 2 electrons for stable configuration?

It has 6 electrons in it's valance shell and needs 2 more electrons in it's valance shell to become stable. Some atoms, phosphorous for instance ( valance # 5 ), can reach deeper into their valance shell and make additional covalent bonds.
