The 'H-S-H' bond angle in 'H_2 S' is '92 . 2.whereas the 'H-O-H' bond angle in 'H_2 O' is '.104 .5, why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sulphur is bigger in size and less electronegative thạn oxygen. Therefore bond pair bond pair repulsion is less in .H, S. than .H, O. hẹnce bond angle is less.
