This is a portrayal of the molecule called "hydrogen sulfide."
Hydrogen sulfide is a common waste product of the body, and is toxic to the body. The body tries to get rid of hydrogen sulfide through a process involving free radicals. There is a fairly good explanation of this on this web site.
You experience hydrogen sulfide as a rotten egg smell -- most often in your stool.
It is a model, not necessarily how this molecule actual exists in reality. The white balls in the image are hydrogen while the yellow ball represents sulfur. If you click on the image you go to a page with the same molecule, but animated. You can then see that molecules like this are NOT static -- but that there is motion within the molecule, not unlike the motion of the solar system with the sun in the center and planets revolving around the center.
The model may help you understand molecular structure in this series of pages about free radicals. In the above image the electrons are not shown individually -- however the connection between the white and the yellow balls would be created by a sharing of electrons.
In other words, the sulfur, as an atom, has its own set of electrons, while hydrogen, as an atom, has one electron for each atom. When you bring sulfur and hydrogen together, properly, the electrons of the sulfur atom and the electrons of the two hydrogen atoms are shared among the atoms, creating a bond among the three different particles here.
Hydrogen, being an atom with only one electron, is a particle that is also a "free radical" because it has an odd number of electrons. Thus, hydrogen cannot really exist in nature without combining with something so that the resulting combination has an even number of electrons.
This is why hydrogen so often appears as TWO hydrogen atoms, not just one.
The common water is two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. This combination has, as the entire combination, an even number of electrons.
If you tried to make a substance of one hydrogen atom and one atom of sulfur, perhaps called "hydrogen sulfur" it wouldn't stay in existence for more than a small fraction of a second -- but would react and grab an electron from somewhere so that it had an even number of electrons. This is not chemistry talking, but an over-simplified explanation.

SUBSCRIBE: The Wednesday Letter is a free electronic monthly newsletter written and published by Karl Loren. You can view more than 50 back issues of this publication by clicking here. The Wednesday Letter subscription list is maintained on a secure server, no name is ever given or sold to anyone, and it is never used except for this Newsletter. It is automatically published on the Tuesday night just before the first Wednesday of every month. You can subscribe to this free monthly electronic letter by entering your eMail address and name below. You will then automatically receive a request for confirmation, sent to whatever address you have entered. If you do NOT receive this confirmation request, then you will not be subscribed. There may have been an error with your address and you should resubmit. The letter is never sent twice to the same address -- so you do not have to worry about a duplicate subscription. When you receive this confirmation request you must reply to it, or your subscription will not become active. No one can subscribe your name, and address, without you being notified, and if you get an unwanted notice of subscription you only need to DO NOTHING and the subscription will NOT be active.
REMOVAL: You can remove yourself from the subscription list in several different ways. Click here to read about this entire newsletter system. Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed. Thus, no one else can unsubscribe you, from some other computer, without your knowledge. But, if you send in the unsubscribe notice from the same machine used to receive the Letter, then the removal from the subscription list is automatic.
