Sulphur can form hydrogen bonds as long as it has a lone pair.

Sulphur is chemicallay similiar to oxygen in that it also has sp3 hybridized orbitals. Many Sulphur compound have a lone pair of electrons and can therefore easily form hydrogen bonds. http://ibchem.com/IB/ibnotes/full/bon_htm/14.2.htm

Sulfur does not form hydrogen bonds as well as O. H2O is a liquid at room temperature, despite a molecular weight of only 18, whereas H2S with molecular weight 34 is a gas. The electronegativities of H and S are similar, so an H-S bond is not as polar as an O-H. The electronegativity of oxygen is a thumping 3.5.

S can hydrogen bond, but in reaction systems it's more likely it will create S-S bonds like you see in proteins. The mechanism of H bonding is the same whether you use H F O N or S.

it builds H2S, that's the stuff that stinks so terrible in Yellowstone NP

i'm think it gonna be H2S(liquid, or gas) .... bc i have not seen HS before
