Expert Answer:
Atomic number of Sulphur is 16
Electronic configuration : 2,8,6
So, there are 6 valence elctrons in outermost orbit.
To obtain a stable electronic configuration of octet state, it is easier to gain 2 electrons than to lose 6 electrons.
Tharfore sulphur will acquire octet state by accepting 2 electrons and hence valency of sulphur is 2.

For example - Suppose I have to make
. Then i have to first react Carbon with Oxygen then react that compond with calcium. So how will i know the valency of compound formed from reaction of carbon with oxygen. We can know the valency of elements from their atomic number and electronic configuration, but how can i know the valency of compound? Please help,waiting for your reply, Thank you.
