Question

The covalency of sulphur in sulphuric acid $\left(H_{2}S{O}_4\right)$ is:

• A. 2
• B. 8
• C. 4
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is D 6

The Lewis structure of sulphuric acid $\left(H_{2}S{O}_4\right)$ is:


Sulphur forms a total of 6 covalent bonds with its neighbouring atoms and therefore, the covalency of sulphur in $H_{2}S{O}_4$ is 6.
