Sulfur can borrow up to six electrons to complete its octet and achieve stability. This is because sulfur has six valence electrons in its outer shell.
Zinc typically loses electrons to form a 2+ cation. It doesn't readily borrow electrons.
Phosphorus typically borrows three electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons. This allows phosphorus to reach a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas neon.
Outer electrons are the electrons that are borrowed or stolen in a reaction. Because a non-metal has a negative oxidation number, it will borrow electrons from a metal to complete its outer shell. Metals have positive oxidation numbers and tend to lose electrons in reactions.
Phosphorus (P) has 15 electrons.
A fluorine atom has 9 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 has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
Sulfur is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
Sulphur has 16 electrons.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
Sulphur's electronic configuration is 2,8,6 and hence it has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
When forming compounds, nitrogen can obtain up to three electrons from other atoms.

Sulphur has 16 electrons. Correction: there is 16 in total, but 6 in the outer (valence) shell.
Sulphur is not magnetic because its atoms do not have unpaired electrons to create a magnetic field. Magnetic properties are typically associated with elements that have unpaired electrons, which sulphur lacks.
