Answer the question on the basis of passage given below: P block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell electronic configuration is ns2 np1-6. Group 16 of the p block elements are known as the group of chalcogens having ns2 np4 as their general electronic configuration. They exhibit a number of oxidation states, but the stability of the -2 oxidation state decreases down the group. They are sometimes also known as the group of chalcogens as the name is derived from the Greek word for brass and points to the association of sulfur and its congeners with copper. Their ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour due to its small size and high electronegativity.
Which one is the correct electronic configuration of sulphur?
[Ne] 3s2 3p4
The electronic configuration of **Sulphur (S)** is **[Ne] 3s2 3p4**. Sulphur has an atomic number of 16, and the configuration follows the Aufbau principle, filling the 3s and 3p orbitals. Therefore, the correct answer is **option (c)**.
