Why do hydrides of oxygen and sulfur differ in physical state?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Hydride of oxygen, i.e., `H_2O` is a liquid due to extensive hydrogen bonding whereas hydride of sulfur, i.e., `H_2S` is a gas because it does not undergo hydrogen bonding and exists as discrete molecules.
