`H_(2)S` is a stronger acid than `H_(2)O`. Explain

A

O-H bond is stronger than S-H bond

B

O is more electronegative than sulphur

C

H-S bond is weaker than O-H bond

D

O-H bond is weaker than H-S bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
H-S bond is weaker than O-H bond because S-atom is bigger in size and less electronegative than O-atom .
