the actuall spelling is 'sulphur',it has 6 valence electrons.
Sulphur
Sulphur belongs to group-16. It has 6 valence electrons.
all elements from group 16 or the chalcogens (oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium)
Valence electrons
atomic number of sulphur is 16.electronic configuration of sulphur is 2,8,6.sulphur has 6 valence electrons. hope this helps.
Sulfur has 6 outer valence electrons.
the actuall spelling is 'sulphur',it has 6 valence electrons.
Sulphur's electronic configuration is 2,8,6 and hence it has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
Sulphur has 16 electrons. Correction: there is 16 in total, but 6 in the outer (valence) shell.
Sulphur
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, which are located in the 3rd shell or outermost energy level of the atom. These electrons are involved in chemical bonding and determine the reactivity of sulfur in chemical reactions.
Sulphur has 6 valence electrons. So its maximum oxidation number is +6.
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.
well sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound so the sulfur atoms and the oxygen atoms share valence electrons. This is because all three atoms must try to have an octet, and with only 18 total valence electrons this must be done through sharing. So to become sulfur dioxide, the valence electrons on the oxygen atoms must be shared with the valence electrons on the sulfur atom.
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
The element is sulphur. It has 5 valence electrons and 16 neutrons.
