Dear students, the question is which of the following choices will an atom of sulfur be most likely to bond with? you know an atom of sulfur can form two covalent bonds, two covalent bonds because it has 16 electrons total, so its electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p4.
00:36
So that means it has 2, 8 and 6 electrons.
00:41
Therefore it needs two more electrons to complete its octet.
00:45
Therefore it can form two covalent bonds by sharing two electrons.
00:51
Oxygen also needs two electrons, but generally it is found that sulfur less likely combines with oxygen compared to hydrogen atoms.

Sulfur most likely combines with hydrogen, two hydrogen atoms to form a compound known as h2s.

Sulfur combines with oxygen but forms sulfur dioxide by forming two covalent bonds, three covalent bonds, one pi, one pure covalent, one is dative bond...
