Out of `H_2O and H_2S` which has higher bond angle and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bond angle in `H_2O` is greater because oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur. Therefore bond pair electrons of O - H bond will be closer to oxygen. There will be greater bond-pair bond-pair repulsion between the two O-H bonds.
