Orbital diagram and electron configuration of sulfur (S)

An example figure from the Orbital Diagram generator.

Orbital diagram of sulfur from 1s to 3p with its electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 written underneath — The orbital diagram of a sulfur atom, with its electron configuration, 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴, written underneath. In 3p, one orbital holds a pair and two hold one electron each, so sulfur has two unpaired electrons.
