Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Boiling point tmperature of water (373K) is more than intemolecular hydrogen bonding is present in the molecule of `H_(2)O`. As a result, the attractive forces in the molecules are more than `H_(2)S` molecules of `H_(2)O`. As a result, the arractive forces in the molecules are more than in `H_(2)S` molecules in which these faorces are only dipolar in nature.
