Question 1

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2​S) is a colorless gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. It can be synthesized directly from its elements:

H2+S→H2S \text{H}_2 + \text{S} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{S} H2​+S→H2​S

The electronic configuration of hydrogen is 1.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is 2.8.6.

Draw a dot-and-cross diagram for a molecule of hydrogen sulfide, H2S\text{H}_2\text{S}H2​S. Show outer electrons only.
