electron dot structure of H2S class 10

In this article, we are going to discuss the electron dot structure of `H_2S` which is also known as the Lewis structure of `H_2S`.

We will discuss the electron dot structure of `H_2S` through the following points

 

 

1. Formula of Hydrogen sulphide

2. Electronic configuration of hydrogen

3. Electronic configuration of sulphur

4. Find the central atom in the compound

5. Draw the structural formula of hydrogen sulphide

6. Electron dot structure of hydrogen sulphide

 

Formula of Hydrogen sulphide

`H_2S`

Electronic configuration of hydrogen

`1s^1`

Electronic configuration of sulphur

`1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4`

Find the central atom in the compound

As the formula of hydrogen sulphide (Dihydrogen sulphide) shows there is one sulphur atom connected to two hydrogen atoms, so sulphur is the central atom.

 Structural formula of `H_2S`

Sulphur has six valence electrons and requires two electrons to complete the octet.

Hydrogen has one valence electron and requires one more electron to complete the octet.

Sulphur and each hydrogen share one -one electron to form a covalent bond.
