Flourine is far more electronegative, meaning it pulls harder on the electrons, making it slightly negative and the sulfur slightly positive.

Is disulfur dinitride ionic or molecular?

Sulfur dibromide is a bent molecule. In general bent molecules are polar. The situation is a bit complex with SBr2 - when looking at each S-Br bond the difference in electronegativity is small. Bromine is slightly more electronegative than sulfur - so you can think of this bond as either non-polar covalent OR slightly polar. If you draw a vector in the direction of the partial charges (dipoles going from sulfur - to bromine) there will be a very slight polarity. The polarity is very small and since S-Br bonds are typically considered non-polar, many people classify SBr2 as a non-polar molecule since the dipole is very small.

Sulfur (S) forms two bonds in its stable state.


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.


How many sigma bonds in sulfuric acid?

In sulfuric acid (H2SO4), there are 2 sigma bonds between hydrogen and sulfur, and 2 sigma bonds between oxygen and sulfur. This totals to 4 sigma bonds.


If sulfur has atomic number of 16. how many covalent bonds can sulfur form?

Sulfur, with an atomic number of 16, can form a maximum of 2 covalent bonds. This is because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and can share these electrons with other atoms to complete its octet, leading to the formation of 2 covalent bonds.
