27. Solving a chemistry problem

38. Based on the position of sulfur in the periodic table of chemical elements, characterize the electronic structure of its atoms and the redox properties of the element, namely:
a) determine the total number of electrons, the number of valence electrons and the maximum oxidation state, the number of electronic layers;
b) write down the electronic formula of the valence sublevels and determine which electronic family (s-, p-, d-, f-) the element in question belongs to;
c) what properties - metallic or non-metallic - are characteristic of the element in question (motivate the answer);

d) which element of the period to which the element in question belongs has the lowest electronegativity value (to motivate the answer);
e) which elements of the subgroup in which the element in question is located have high oxidative activity (motivate the answer).
