Answer:

Sulphur

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulphur(S) is the Sixteenth element of the periodic table and it has an electronic configuration of 2,8,6. This means it has six electrons in its outermost shell( valence electrons).

Sulphur has sixteen(16) protons which is equal to the atomic number which is also sixteen. Sulphur ends with the letter ‘r’. All the descriptions of the element are satisfied and it validates Sulphur.
