H(2)O is a liquid while H(2)S is a gas. ...

`H_(2)O` is a liquid while `H_(2)S` is a gas. This is due to :

A

difference in the state of hybridisations of O and S in their compounds

B

high molecular mass of `H_(2)S` as compared to `H_(2)O`.

C

strong hydrogen bonding in `H_(2)O` molecules as compared to `H_(2)S` molecule

D

`H-O-H` bond angle in `H_(2)O` is `104.5^(@)` while `H-S-H` bond angle in `H_(2)S` is `92^(@)`
