The p subshell can accommodate a maximum of 6 electrons, but here it holds 4 electrons, which means that sulfur has 2 unpaired electrons, both located in the p-subshell. Sulfur will have a pair of electrons in the 1st 3p orbital, 1 electron in the 2nd 3p orbital, and 1 electron in the 3rd 3p orbital. read more
