Stability of Sulfides: Lewis Acid-Base Covalent Bonding

[QUOTE="Bystander, post: 4972603, member: 50"] It's a little hard to say what it's trying to describe. If one really has to think in terms of "backbonding," it's more favorable for a "softer" ion. This is analogous to p-pi -- p-pi bonding at a higher level of occupation; the d orbitals include higher probabilities of finding electrons close to an atomic nucleus than do the s and p orbitals, making "delocalization" between a pair of nuclei with accessible and/or occupied d orbitals advantageous. Someone is mixing depictions of pi-bonding with conservation of line drawings of tetravalent carbon. You seem unimpressed. Check the front end of the book for the author's/authors' credentials; there's a very good possibility you will find "M. Ed." and/or "Ed. D." listed. [/QUOTE]
