A sulfur atom has 3 electron shells.
There is only one sulfur atom. The S is sulfur, and there is no number next to it.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
6 electrons and 16 protons.
Aluminium has three electron shells with 2,8,3 electrons each.
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
An atom of sulfur has 16 electrons. Since the electron configuration of sulfur is 2-8-6, there are two filled energy levels (1s and 2s/2p) with a total of 10 filled orbitals (2 in 1s, 8 in 2s/2p).
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.
In a sulfur atom, the third energy level can contain a maximum of 18 electrons. The electrons are distributed among the different orbitals in the third energy level according to the rules of electron configuration.
Sulfur has three electron orbitals. The first orbital contains 2 electrons, the second contains 8 and the third contains 6.

A sulfur atom has 3 electron shells.
There are 9 occupied orbitals in a phosphorus atom's ground state: one 1s orbital, one 2s orbital, three 2p orbitals, one 3s orbital, and three 3p orbitals.
