How does the valence electron configuration work for sulfur?

Sulfur is located in the 3rd energy level (row) and Group VIA (16th column) of . This is the 4th column of the p block,meaning Sulfur must end in a configuration of ##3p^4##.
The for sulfur is ##1s^2 2s^2p^6 3s^2 3p^4##
This means that sodium has a valence shell of ##[Ne] 3s^2 3p^4##.
The valence level, (highest energy level s and p orbital) is ##3s^2 3p^4##
Sulfur has six .
I hope this was helpful.
