Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is ns^{2} np^{4} therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne] 3s^{2} 3p^{4}3d^{0}. 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 P_{z} orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.

What is 10 times as many as 1 hundred is blank hundred or blank thousand ?
Rama09 [41]

10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred or 1 thousand.

This is the question of simple multiplications related to a place value system.

The given equation in unit form can be rewritten as:

10 × 1 × 100 = (X × 100) or (Y × 1000)

Arranging in two parts, we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = X × 100           ........(1)

10 × 1 × 100 = Y × 1000         ........(2)

Now, calculating the value of X and Y,

From equation (1), we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = X×100

or, 1000 = X × 100

or, X = 10

Hence, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred.

Similarly, from equation (2). we get,

10 × 1 × 100 = Y × 1000

or, 1000 = Y × 1000

or, Y = 1

Hence, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 1 thousand.

Therefore, 10 times as many as 1 hundred is 10 hundred or 1 thousand.
