There are 20 valence electrons in the expanded valence structure of sulfur dioxide. This includes the electrons from the sulfur atom (6 valence electrons) and each oxygen atom (6 valence electrons each).
The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.
A neutral sulfur atom has 6 valence electrons. Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
There are six unpaired electrons in a sulfur atom (atomic number 16) because sulfur has six valence electrons in its outer shell.
A sulfate ion consists of one sulfur atom, four oxygen atoms, and two "excess" electrons from another source. Each sulfur atom has 16 electrons, each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so that the total is 16 + (4 X 8) + 2 = 50. The question of "bonding electrons" is not quite so clear. When acting as an ion, each sulfate ions has two electrons available for ionic bonding. Internal bonding within each sulfate ion is generally supposed to correspond to two sulfur-oxygen double bonds with four bonding electrons each, two sulfur-oxygen single bonds with two bonding electrons each, and the two excess electrons, for a total of 14.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.

6 electrons and 16 protons.
16 electrons
A neutral atom of sulfur has 16 electrons.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
The atomic number is 16, so a sulfur atom has 16 protons in the nucleus and 16 electrons in the electron cloud.
There are sixteen (16) electrons in a neutral atom of Sulfur.
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
Sulfur-33 has 16 electrons since it is a neutral atom and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus for a neutral atom.
The outer valence shell of a sulfur atom contains a total of 6 electrons: two 3s electrons and four 3p electrons.
Sulfur is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
