An atom’s combining capacity is known as its valency. The valency of the element represents the number of bonds that an atom can form as part of a compound.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is (S) [Ne] 3s1 .

So in order to achieve stability, sulfur has to gain 2 electrons.

Therefore, the valency of sulphur is 2.

Few sulphur compounds such as so2, SO3, etc, have a valency of 6.
