Sulfur can form two covalent bonds as in H2S, and can form 6 as in SO3. In elemnatl allotropes of sulfur which are covalent bonded, many are cyclic compounds the number of covalent onds is 2.

Is sulphur and carbon an ionic or a covalent bond?

A bond between sulphur and carbon is covalent. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms of different electronegativities.


What is the maximum number of covalent bonds that Sulfur will form with another nonmetal element?

Sulphur has six valence electrons and hence it can form maximum of six covalent bonds as in SF6.


Is SF5 has covalent bond?

Yes, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) contains covalent bonds. In SF6, sulfur is bonded to six fluorine atoms through covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms. This results in a stable and non-reactive molecule due to the strong covalent bonds.


Does mercury form covalent bonds?

Yes, mercury primarily forms metallic bonds rather than covalent bonds. Due to its nature as a metal, mercury tends to share electrons in a more delocalized manner rather than forming traditional covalent bonds with other elements.

Is H2S a covalent bond?

NO!!! It is a compound of hydrogen and sulphur. The bonds between hydrogen and sulphur are covalent. H2S ( hydrogen sulphide) is the sulphur analogue of water. H2S is the bad eggs smell that is given off from rotten eggs.
