Hydrogen Sulfide Electrical Conductivity Reason
"On the Causes of Hydrogen Sulfide's Non-Conductivity"
Hydrogen sulfide is normally a gas with limited solubility in water. The reason why it is non-conductive is due to its structure and properties.
Hydrogen sulfide is formed by the combination of hydrogen and sulfur two elements. In its molecular structure, hydrogen and sulfur are connected by covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are chemical bonds that share electron pairs between atoms. The characteristics of this bond make it difficult for electrons in hydrogen sulfide molecules to move freely between atoms.
When it comes to the principle of conductivity, substances conduct electricity, and must rely on free-moving charged particles. In metals, there are free electrons; in electrolyte solutions, there are anions and cations. However, when hydrogen sulfide is in the gaseous state, it exists in the form of neutral molecules, with no free electrons or ions, so it cannot conduct electricity.
Even if hydrogen sulfide is dissolved in water, although partial ionization can occur, a small amount of hydrogen ions and hydrogen sulfide ions are generated, but the degree of ionization is very small, and the ion concentration in the solution is quite low. These low ion concentrations are not enough to form an effective conductive path, so the conductivity of its aqueous solution is also extremely weak, almost non-conductive.
In summary, due to the localization of electrons in the molecular structure of hydrogen sulfide and its extremely low ion concentration in gaseous and aqueous solutions, hydrogen sulfide is non-conductive.
