can H2s form hydrogen bonds
i read that H2s can , but I'm not so sure about it .

Do you still have the same teacher, or have you progressed/advanced?rashida564 said:Then i have read that H2S can form hydrogen bond .
I wouldn't sign this!Borek said:You do know that all bonds are in fact "just" electrostatic attractions between charges?

I am not an expert on this, but I know that some people consider the inability of -S-H to participate in the hydrogen bonding is often exaggerated. Water structure is a complex subject; I think this passage is suggesting that cooperative phenomena involving extended hydrogen bonded and structures with several molecules of water play a part. https://books.google.it/books?id=p1MBoYt64n0C&pg=PA293&lpg=PA293&dq=Hydrogen+bonds+H2S&source=bl&ots=5HnpBid-ra&sig=50E9p6-Xl2ulYFvYMVYqDMg3jSQ&hl=it&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjb35Lv0YXQAhVJzRQKHVDKBcE4ChDoAQggMAA#v=onepage&q=Hydrogen bonds H2S&f=false
And that just the different bond angles in H2O and H2S cause an inability to form the larger structures in H2S.
Hydrogen bonded structures involving -S-H of cysteine residues are known in proteins. http://web.unbc.ca/~rader/_publications/1991Gregoret.pdf .
So in more advanced studies and different contexts this absolute difference between the two atoms will be relativised - but till then what you have heard so far is much what you will hear. There is some nice pictorialisation and connection with other physics and biology here: http://www.slideshare.net/chungkin81/hydrogen-bonding.
Yes, H2S molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Hydrogen bonds occur when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen) and is attracted to another electronegative atom in a different molecule.
The structure of H2S molecules, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to a central sulfur atom, allows for a polar covalent bond to form. This creates a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the sulfur atom, making them able to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules.
Yes, H2S molecules can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The polar nature of both H2S and water allows for hydrogen bonding to occur between them, resulting in the formation of a solution.
The strength of hydrogen bonds involving H2S is weaker than those involving water. This is because sulfur is a larger atom than oxygen, and therefore the hydrogen bond between H2S molecules is longer and weaker than the hydrogen bond between water molecules.
No, H2S molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds with non-polar molecules. Hydrogen bonds can only occur between molecules with polar covalent bonds, which have a separation of charges and a dipole moment. Non-polar molecules do not have these characteristics and therefore cannot form hydrogen bonds with H2S molecules.
