| (B) 5
(C) 6
(D) 7
How many electrons are there in the outer orbit of an atom of sulphur
| (A) 4
(B) 5
(D) 7​

Answer 1

The answer of your question is { (c) 6}.

Because the atomic number of sulpher is 16, hence its electronic configuration is {2, 8, 6}.

Thank you............

Answer 2

The outer orbit of an atom of sulphur has (C) 6 electrons.

• Sulphur is a non-metal element. It is placed in group 16 and period 3 of the periodic table.
• The electron configuration of sulphur is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
• Its oxidation states range from -2 to +6.
• The element finds its application in fungicides, detergents, matches, gun powders, concrete resistant to corrosion etc.
• Sulphur is also used for medical purposes like for treatment of acne via cream or lotion etc.
