When sulfur and hydrogen react together one sulfur atom will combine with how many hydrogen atoms?

Two hydrogen atoms to form hydrogen sulphide (H2S) . It is the smell of rotten eggs.


Using electronegativity values what type of bond is expected between hydrogen and sulfur?

Sulfur can replace oxygen in some compounds, for example thiols. In this case, sulfur and hydrogen form covalent bonds (like ROH and RSH). Because sulfur is also like oxygen, it should also be expected for form weak, or Van Der Waals, types of interactions between molecules (look up hydrogen bonding).


If an atom of sulfur were allowed to react with atoms of hydrogen which of the molecules would be formed?

h2s


Why are Sulfur-Hydrogen bond lengths longer than Oxygen-Hydrogen bond lengths?

If you take a look at the Periodic Table of Elements, you'll notice that sulfur is directly underneath oxygen. According to trends in the Periodic Table, one knows that the size of the atom of sulfur is larger than that of oxygen because there are more electrons in a higher energy level surrounding the nucleus. The bond between both hydrogen and oxygen and hydrogen and sulfur are covalent. That means that the lone electron around the hydrogen is equally shared between the hydrogen and the sulfur. Simply because sulfur is a larger atom, it will have a larger bond length between anything it bonds with than that if oxygen were to bond with that same atom.


How is the ion of sulfur formed?

sulfur has 16 electrons with a neutral charge the most common ion formed is the sulfide ion, with a negative 2 charge to get a negative 2 charge, it gains 2 electrons, thus fulfilling the octet rule and acquiring the electron configuration of argon

Does Sulfur in hydrogen sulfide have two bonds and one non-bonded pair of electrons?

No. The sulfur atom in a hydrogen sulfide ion has two bonds ans two non-bonded pairs.

How many covalent bonds can be formed from sulfur?

Sulfur only needs two electrons to have a full valence electron shell, and since each covalent bond has two electrons, sulfur can only form 1 bond.
