Based on its location in the periodic table, what can most likely be predicted about sulfur?
a. it has four valence electrons available for bonding.
b. it has four nonbonding electrons.
c. it has six valence electrons available for bonding.
d. it has six nonbonding electrons.

Option C

Explanation: Since Sulfur belongs to Main group and is present in VI A group in Oxygen family.

Hence it should have 6 valency electrons in outer shell

It is also confirmed by electronic configuration as below

S-16: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Valency shell 3 has 6 electrons,2 in 3s and 4 in 3p orbital.

Hence option C is correct
