Answer:

Sulphur has atomic number of 16 means it has 16 electrons and 16 protons in its neutral state.

The electronic configuration is 1s², 2s²2p6,3s²3p4. 2,8,6

That it has 6 electron in the valence shell means it needs two electron to complete it's octet configuration Sulphur reacts with two hydrogen atoms each with 1 electron to form hydrogen compound and to complete its octet structure.

H(1s¹)+H(1s¹) + S(3p4) = H2S(g)
