Q3. Draw the atomic structure of a sulfur atom & sulfide ions. Explain why you draw it this way.
Sulfur is found in group (VI), it electronic configuration is (2.8.6). The first shell can consists a max of two electrons, the second shell can consists a max of 8 electrons and the remaining 6 electrons on the third shells. In order to make it stable for sulfur ions, it needs to lose 2 electrons so that it c
omplete the valence shell.
