What is the hybridization of the sulfur atom in H₂S?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central sulfur atom in H₂S has four electron domains (one bonded sulfur, two bonded hydrogen, and one lone pair). To accommodate these electron domains, sulfur undergoes sp3 hybridization. However, since one of the electron domains is a lone pair, the hybridization will also have some degree of p character, resulting in the final hybridization of sp³. Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate hybridization.
