3d orbitals for sulfur

i was wondering if my logic was correct: the electrons can become equivalent for sulfur through hybridization, so that it can have up to 6 bonds.

am i right?

your right, they will form six bonds, because sulfur has 6 valence electrons, however, the pi bonds are probably not very stable because the sulfur atom has a larger radius (its in the 3rd period)
