Sulfur's outermost shell is 3p. Out of 6 possible electrons in the 3p orbital, only 4 electrons fill the shell. Therefore sulfur has 4 valence electrons.
Five. Fluorine and chlorine are in the 2p and 3p shells, respectively. Because each p orbital contains a maximum of six electrons, and fluroine and chlorine both have one less, they each have five.
Sodium (Na) has 1 electron in the 3s orbital and chlorine (Cl) has 7 electrons in the 3p orbital. Sodium gives away the one electron to Cl, leaving it with 8 electrons (octet) in the 2p orbital (like Neon). The chlorine takes that one electron giving it 8 electrons (octet) in the 3p orbital. The sodium then has a +1 charge, and the chloride ion now has a -1 charge. This is an ionic bond.
There are no unpaired electrons in calcium, all 20 electrons are in pairs, i.e. each pair is configured in one orbital: 2x in 1s orbital 2x in 2s orbital 2x in each of the three 2p orbitals 2x in 3s orbital 2x in each of the three 3p orbitals and 2x in 4s orbital (these two are the valence electrons)

six. 3p6
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
True
Since the p orbital has 3 sublevels, px, py and pz, and each can contain an unpaired electron, the total number of unpaired electrons in the 3p would be 3.

Sulfur's outer most shell is 3p. It has 4 electrons in it's 3p orbital, therefore, sulfur has 4 valence electrons.
Sulfur's outermost shell is 3p. Out of 6 possible electrons in the 3p orbital, only 4 electrons fill the shell. Therefore sulfur has 4 valence electrons.
The valence electrons are in the 3p shell. Chlorine principally bonds by gaining 1 electron into the 3p orbital, giving 3p6 and a chlorine ion with a (-1) charge. This gives an ionic bond eg sodium chloride. However it can share electrons in the 3p and 3d shell, as in chlorates, to from 3 covalent bonds.
