Question

The substance responsible for the smell of rotten eggs and sewer gas is hydrogen sulfide, H2S. Think about the expected structure of hydrogen sulfide based on VSEPR theory and what common everyday/everywhere compound has a similar structure.

Answer 1

Sulfur is in the group of oxygen, so it acts similarly. Therefore you can say that H2S is similar to H2O

Recall that Sulfur can form 2 covalent bonds total, and can have up to 2 lone pairs, just like oxygen. And H2S, just like water, have the bent shape, because it has steric number 4 and with two lone pairs
