2 full orbitals, S and P
The sulfur atom has 16 electrons around its orbitals. The third energy level is the most tightly bound to the nucleus.
The element sulfur is element number 16, and has 6 electrons in the 3rd orbital level : 3s2, 3p4.
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.
The name of the hybrid orbitals used by sulfur in SCl2 is sp^3. Valence bond theory predicts that SCl2 will have two single bonds and two lone pair of electrons on the central sulfur atom. This is exactly what you will see if you draw the Lewis dot structure.

Zero. Sulfur has six valence electrons, all of which pair up into three orbitals.

The hybridisation of sulfur is sp3. The structure is often drawn with two double bonds, with double bond formed from d orbitals on sulfur and p orbitals on oxygen. This is the Pauling valence bond 1940's approach. More recent work suggests that the involvement of d orbitals is minimal.

P and S both have 'd' orbitals in outermost shell while N and O do not.
