Atomic Structure Assignment (Question 3-answer)

Q3)Draw the atomic structure of a sulfur atom and a sulfide ion....explain why you draw it this way.

-The sulfur atom is drawn this way as its electronic configuration of (2.8.6) so it has 6 electrons on its valence shell.

-The sulfur ion is drawn this way as it gains 2 electrons on the valence shell and become stable, which means that its electronic configuration is (2.8.8).
