No.
Fluorine wears that crown, followed by chlorine. These two halogens can strip an electron from just about anything, even noble gases! The only known molecules which include noble gases have been made with these halogens for this reason.
Sulfur is more electronegative or electrophilic (electron loving) that almost all other elements, but the two previously mentioned halogens are way out in front of it.
Chlorine most readily accepts electrons among silicon, sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus. Chlorine is a halogen and has a high electron affinity due to its high electronegativity, making it more likely to accept electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus are nonmetals with varying electron affinities but are generally less likely to accept electrons compared to chlorine.
Sulfur is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
six valence electrons
Selenium. As you go across the groups, not counting the transition metals, a valence electron is added.
Sulphur (Sulfur in the US) Location of electrons is not important to determine which element it is. 16 electorns means that it would have 16 protons in it's nucleus, so 16 is atomic number of the element. It would have 16 neutrons in it's nucleus too (it is usually one neutron for each proton), which make atomic weight of this element equal to 32.

Sulfur and argon do not have similar chemical properties. Sulfur is a reactive nonmetal that readily forms compounds, while argon is an inert gas that is very stable and does not easily react with other elements. Argon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, while sulfur is a nonmetal that can gain electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
a metal and a nonmetal such as sodium and sulfur which would make sodium sulfide
there are 6 electrons in valence shell of sulphur so it accepts two electrons to complete the octet (8 electrons in last shell) so its valency in ionic compounds is always - 2.
Electrons are equal to protons in a neutral element. Using the atomic number to find sulfur's number of proton's one finds that sulfur has 16 protons. Thus, sulfur in its elemental form must also have 16 electrons.
Yes, sulfur can give away electrons when forming ionic bonds with elements that have a greater tendency to attract electrons. For example, in the compound sodium sulfide (Na2S), sulfur gives away electrons to sodium to form an ionic bond.
