Lewis Structure of Hydrogen Sulfide

In the Lewis structure of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S $), sulfur is in the center, and its outermost layer has six electrons. To achieve the octet-stable structure, two electrons are required. Hydrogen atoms each have one electron and share electron pairs with sulfur atoms.

Sulfur bonds with two hydrogen atoms in two pairs of electrons, which is the $H-S-H $structure. At the same time, the sulfur atom also has two pairs of lone pairs of electrons. In the Lewis structure of hydrogen sulfide, there are four pairs of electrons around the sulfur atom, including two pairs of bonding electrons and two pairs of lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen atom has a two-electron stable structure, and the sulfur atom also has an eight-electron stable structure.
