Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.
six :)
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
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.
8 because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and when it becomes sulfide it gains two electrons making it 6+2=8.
There r 16 electrons in s, sulfur. There r only 6 valence electrons
Both have six valance electrons. That is what the number at the top of their column means.
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in the valence shell.

Sulfur's outer most shell is 3p. It has 4 electrons in it's 3p orbital, therefore, sulfur has 4 valence electrons.
6 valence electrons.
it is in the oxygen family and has 6 valence electrons it requires 2 electrons
Six
It must gain two electrons.
