Hope this answer helps you if you like my answer then mark me as a brainliest

Answer 2

Sulfur is the element with the atomic number 16, so d is incorrect.

It is not an inert gas and hence it is not in a stable configuration either.

This makes C incorrect.

The way electrons are distributed is 2 in first ring, 8 in second ring and 6 in third ring.

As it lies on the right hand side and is more close to completion, hence it is an electron accepting element.
