Sulfur has 4 Valence Atomic OrbitalsThere is no use of d orbitals in bonding to p-block elements

The sulfur 3s orbital (−20.7 eV) belongs to the totallysymmetric representation

The sulfur 3p orbitals (−11.6 eV) transform as A1 (pz), B1

(px), and B2 (py )

Analysis of the MO Diagram for SH4 in C2v

The 1a1 MO is a nonbonding 3s electron “lone pair” on sulfur

The 2a1, 1b1, and 1b2 MOs are bonding MOs between thesulfur 3p orbitals and symmetry adapted combinations of H 1sorbital functions

The 3a1 MO is a nonbonding “lone pair” of electronslocalized on the H atoms on the y axis

The MOs marked with “*” are antibonding counterparts tothe three bonding MOs

Three bonding MOs and one lone pair satisfy the octet rulefor sulfur
