16 electrons: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3px2, 3py1, 3pz1
The noble gas that comes before sulfur is Neon, with 10 electrons. The first part of sulfur's configuration is identical to Neon's (1s2, 2s2, 2p6) so you can say sulfur is "everything that Neon is plus......)
[Ne]3s2, 3px2, 3py1, 3pz1
(Hund's rule requires the electrons in the 3p's to be distributed evenly throughout the three oribitals).

atomic no.of sulfur is 16
therefore it's electronic configuration in usual notation is
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
in noble gas notation is
[Ne] 3s2 3p4
where electronic configuration of neon is 1s2 2s2 2p6
