A chemical bond is a long-term attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that allows chemical compounds to form.

A neighboring atom must have a greater electronegativity than sulphur in order to produce a positive charge on Sulfur.

A few things to keep in mind:

(1) As you travel from left to right in the periodic table, the size of the atom shrinks because proton addition has a greater effect than electron addition. Because of the strong force of the nucleus, it will be able to receive electrons more easily as its size decreases.

According to the foregoing argument, electronegativity rises as one moves from left to right in the periodic table.

(2) As you proceed from the top to the bottom of a group, the size of the group grows due to the addition of fresh energy shells. Because the force of attraction of the nucleus is no longer able to attract additional electrons as the size of the nucleus rises, electronegativity will drop as the group size decreases.

So, according to the previous argument, only four elements are more electronegative than sulphur:\({\rm{N,O,F}}\), and\({\rm{Cl}}\).

Therefore, the elements are: \({\rm{N,O,F}}\) and \({\rm{Cl}}\) .
