Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table, we see that sulfur (S) has an atomic number of 16, this means its electronic configuration would be:

  • 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

We know the electronic configuration written above is correct because the sum of all the superscript numbers is 16 (2+2+6+3+4=16).
