Hydrogen Sulfide is a colorless gas with a strong odor of rotten eggs and sweetish taste.
IUPAC name:
Hydrogen Sulfide
Determination procedure:
Structure was calculated using an ab initio method (HF 3-21G*) using
the software: Spartan'02, Wavefunction, Inc., Irvine, CA
Layman's explanation:
Hydrogen Sulfide occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. It can also result from bacterial breakdown of organic matter and it is responsible for the smell of rotten eggs. It is also produced by human and animal wastes. Although hydrogen sulfide is a toxic pollutant gas generally occurring in wastewater, it has been used to precipitate metals in wastewater treatment reactors. It has been proposed for stabilization of metals in soils and for formation of metal sulfide “quantum” particles for microelectronics applications.
