Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.
The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.
Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
(at constant Pressure)
The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.
When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne]
. Sulphur has six valency electrons whereas sulphur can have more than eight electrons in its valency shell as it have an empty d-shell electrons can accumulate in the empty d-shell. The complete d-shell and the
orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.
