**Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration**Refer to the following figure to answer the questions below.![Figure: Table of Atomic Mass and Atomic Numbers]| Element | Atomic Mass | Atomic Number ||---------|-------------|---------------|| C | 12 | 6 || O | 16 | 8 || H | 1 | 1 || N | 14 | 7 || S | 32 | 16 || P | 31 | 15 |### Question:How many electrons will a single atom of sulfur with no charge and no bonds have in its valence shell?- 32- 8- 16- 6### Explanation:To determine the number of valence electrons for sulfur (S), we refer to its atomic number, which is 16. Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, which means it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell (valence shell). Therefore, a single atom of sulfur has 6 valence electrons.**Correct Answer:** 6This information helps in understanding the chemical properties and bonding behavior of sulfur in various compounds.

Given, Valence electrons are the outermost electrons which, therefore, are located on the highest…
