Out of `H_(2)O` which one has higher bond angle and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bond angle of `H_(2)O (H___O___H =104.5^(@))` is larger than that of `H_(2)S (H___S___H=92^(@))` because oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur therefore, bond pair electron of O__H bond will be closer to oxygen and there will be more bond pair ___bond pair repulsion between bond pairs of two O___H bonds.
