A Sulfur atom has initially 6 electrons in its outer shell. To have a complete octet, meaning 8 electrons in the outer shell, it should gain 2 electrons, to form an S2- ion.
The symbol for sulfur is S. Its electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p4
Sulfur needs 2 more electrons to achieve a stable octet, making a total of 8 electrons in its outer shell to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The full electron configuration for sulfur atom is 1s2.2s2.2p6.3s2.3p4.
Sulfur has six valence electrons and can therefore attain an inert gas configuration in two different ways: by accepting two electrons to attain the electron configuration of argon or donating or sharing six electrons to attain the electron configuration of neon. In combination with the much less electronegative element sodium, sulfur accepts one electron from each of two sodium atoms to form the ionic compound Na2S, but in combination with the more electronegative element fluorine, sulfur shares its six valence electrons with each of six fluorine atoms to form six polar covalent bonds with fluorine.
Sulfur atoms will gain two electrons in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. A sulfide ion has the formula S2-.
The electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne) 3s2.3p4.
The symbol for sulfur is S. Its electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p4
When sulfur forms a negative ion, it gains two electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, making it have the same electron configuration as argon.
Sulfur (S) has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p4.
The core electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne] 3s^2 3p^4, where [Ne] represents the electron configuration of the noble gas neon. This indicates that sulfur has a full 3s subshell and 4 electrons in the 3p subshell within its core electron configuration.
Sulfur needs 2 more electrons to achieve a stable octet, making a total of 8 electrons in its outer shell to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Sulfur has 6 outer shell electrons, which are located in the third energy level. These electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms to complete sulfur's outer shell and achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sulfur atoms will gain two electrons in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. A sulfide ion has the formula S2-.
A sulfur atom has 6 valence electrons, while a sulfide ion has 8 valence electrons because it gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
