Based on its location in the periodic table, what can most likely be predicted about sulfur?

Sulfur is in Group 16 (also called 6A), so it has six electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons, which can be involved in bonding. The group number does not mean sulfur has six nonbonding electrons; how many are nonbonding depends on the molecule or ion it forms.
