➣ Sulphur -
Valency of sulphur is 2
Electronic configuration - (2, 8, 6)
Since its valence shell has 6 electrons, it is easier to gain two electrons rather than losing 6.
➣ Chlorine -
Valency of chlorine is 1
Electronic configuration - (2, 8, 7)
Since its valence shell has 7 electrons, it is easier to gain 1 electron rather than losing 7.
