Explain
Why `H_(2)O` is liquid while `H_(2)S` is gas

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) `dz^(2)` (ii) `dx^(2) -y^(2)` and `dz^(2)`
(iii) `dx^(2)-y^(2)` (iv) `dxy,dyz,dxz`
(b) Due to intermolecular H-bonding in `H_(2)O` association of `H_(2)O` molecules occurs but in `H_(2)S` there is no H-bonding
(d) Due to resonance in benzene
(e) `F-F` is the least ionic or more covalent due to the zero `EN` difference in `F-F` atoms Greater the difference in `EN` value of two atoms more ionic is the compound and vice versa .
