Why H-S-H bond angle in H(2)S is smaller...

Why H-S-H bond angle in `H_(2)S` is smaller than `H-O-H` bond angle in `H_(2)O` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the H-S-H bond angle in H₂S is smaller than the H-O-H bond angle in H₂O, we can analyze the molecular geometry and the factors affecting bond angles in both molecules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Molecular Geometry**: - Both H₂S and H₂O have a bent molecular geometry due to the presence of lone pairs on the central atom (sulfur in H₂S and oxygen in H₂O). The hybridization for both molecules is sp³. 2. **Lone Pairs**: ...
