✍ Electronic configuration of element: 2, 8, 6

So, Valency = 8 - no. of valence electrons

= 8 - 6

= 2

✍The element is a non metal because it has 6 valence electrons and hence belongs to group 16.

Answer 2

i) Electronic configuration:- 2,8,6

ii) Period:- 3

Groups:- 16

iii) It's valency is 2

iv) It is a non metal

v) It is an oxidising agent.

vi) It's formula with chlorine is SCl2.
