Sulphur and rest of the elements of group 16 are less electronegative than oxygen, Therefore, their atoms cannot take electrons easily. They can acquire ns^2 np^6 configuration by sharing two electrons with the atoms of other elements and thus, exhibit +2 oxidation state in their compounds. In addition to this, their atoms have vacant d-orbitals in their valence shell to which electrons can be promoted from the p and s-orbitals of the same shell. As a result, they can show +4 and + 6 oxidation states. Oxygen exhibits +2 oxidation state in
