`H_(2)S` is far more volatile than water because :

A

sulphur atom is more electronegative than oxygen atom.

B

oxygen being more electronegative than sulphur forms hydrogen bond.

C

`H_(2)O` has bond angle of nearly `105^(@)`

D

hydrogen atom is loosely bonded with sulphur.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As water has `H`-bonding due to the presence of highly electronegative oxygen but `H_(2)S` does not (electronegativity of sulphur is low)
