Answer:
Oxygen can only form chemical bonds with the two valence electrons in its unpaired electrons of the 2p orbitals. However, sulphur can form chemical bonds using the unpaired electrons in the 3p and 3d orbitals.

Answer:
Explanation: Indeed, oxygen can only bond with fluorine to form oxygen difluoride, OF2 . ... This ultimately means that sulfur has access to its empty 3d-orbitals, something that cannot be said of oxygen, for which the energy difference between the 2s or 2p-subshell and the 3d-subshell is very, very significant.
