Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
That is a total of 16 electrons. Assuming that this is a neutral atom, the number of electrons = the number of protons. Therefore, this atom has 16 protons, which is its atomic number. The element with atomic number 16 is sulfur.
Sulfur has six electrons in its third electron shell.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in the valence shell.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
6 electrons.
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
Sulfur has 6 outer shell electrons, as do all other atoms in column 16 of a wide form Periodic Table, in the usual chemical meaning. A physicist, especially a spectroscopist, might well consider only the 3p electrons of sulfur the outer shell, since the 3s electrons have a detectably lower energy level. On that view, sulfur would contain 4 outer shell electrons.
6 valence electrons.
