Question

Draw the molecular orbital diagram of H2S...

Answer 1

Have you drawn others before?

Answer 2

Its similar to water's (\(H_2O\)) but the orbitals have different energies.

Answer 3

H\(_2\)S, much like water, both have same point group (not sure if you're familiar with point group and group theory), and are close enough to assume they have about the same geometry, but with different energy levels as someone else has already pointed out.

Answer 4

I know that H2s is NOT hybridized and that pure 2 3p orbitals are bonded with a H atom respectfully and one lone pair is in the third 3p orbital and the second lone pair of electrons in in the 3s orbital/

Answer 5

But I dont know how to draw a diagram to show this

Answer 6

also does every orbital contain an antibonding orbital?

Answer 7

Look at the M.O. diagram for water. They should be about the same. The only thing you're changing here is the central atom, from electronegative oxygen, to less electronegative, sulfur.

Answer 8

Yes, you have both bonding and anti-bonding! Remember that you have 3 P-orbitalz: \(\sf P_x,~P_z,~and~P_y\)
