`H_2S` is a gas at ordinary condition, while `H_2O` is liquid. Account for the above statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since hydrogen is bonded to small electronegative oxygen aiom.in `H_2O`, its molecules are associated by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. So large amount of energy is required to separate them and thus water is a liquid with high boiling point. There is.no hydrogen bonding in `H_2S`.
