Well, we use the $aufbau principle$ $"aufbau principle"$ , and for sulfur, $Z = 16$ $Z=16$ ....

Explanation:

And thus..... $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{4}$ $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3s^(2)3p^4$ ; this distributes the 16 electrons appropriately. Given this configuration, sulfur commonly forms sulphide anion, i.e. $S^{2 -}$ $S^(2-)$ . Can you give the electronic description for $S^{2 -}$ $S^(2-)$ . What other element shares this configuration?
