Answer:
There are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.
Explanation:
Sulphur is a non-mettalic element which is in the period 3 and group .6on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 16 and a Mass number of 32. Atomic number tells you the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom. It has the electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.
The orbitals have a formula 2n^2 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.
In the shells, n = 1 so there are 2 electrons. For n = 2, 2*(2)^2 = 8 electrons. So, 16 - (8 + 2) = 6 electrons in the 3 shell (outermost shell)
Therefore from the electronic confriguration above, there are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.
If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement.
-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container. The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.
-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it. When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan. It's equal to the volume of the object.
