Explanation:
The atomic number of S is [tex]16[/tex]
So,number of electrons in S is [tex]16[/tex]
The electronic configuration of S is [tex]2,8,6[/tex]
The orbital electronic configuration of S is [tex]^{1}s_{2}^\text{ }^{2}s_{2}^\text{ }^{2}p_{x2}^\text{ }^{2}p_{y2}^\text{ }^{2}p_{z2}^\text{ }^{3}s_{2}^\text{ }^{3}p_{x2}^\text{ }^{3}p_{y1}^\text{ }^{3}p_{z1}^\text{ }[/tex]
So,the number of orbitals involved is 9.
