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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H_2O` has the larger angle `(104.5^@)` than `H_2S (93^@)` because of the smaller size and higher electronegativity of oxygen due to which the bond pairs are closer and hence, there will be greater bond pair-bond pair repulsion in `H_2O` than in `H_2S`.
