the electronic configuration of sulfur is
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
 p subshell consists of three orbitals px , py and pz
among them in sulfur for 3P4
px consists two electrons so which is paired
but py and pz consists of single  electrons
so sulfur consists of 2 unpaired electrons

Answer: 2 unpaired electrons

Explanation:Its configuration will be

S: 1s²2s²2p^63s²3p⁴

The p subshell can accommodate a maximum of 6 electrons, but here it holds 4 electrons, which means that sulfur has 2 unpaired electrons, both located in the p-subshell

Sulfur will have a pair of electrons in the 1st 3p orbital, 1 electron in the 2nd 3P orbital, and 1 electron in the 3rd 3p orbital.
