Assertion : The H-S-H bond angle ...

Assertion : The H-S-H bond angle in ` H_2 S ` is closer to `90^@` but H-O-H bond angle in water is `104.5^@`
reason : I.p - 1.p repulsion is stronger in `H_(2) ` Than in ` H_(2) O`

A

Both assetion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assetion

B

both assetion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explantion of assetion

C

assertion is true but reason is false

D

both assetion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Correct explanation : Bond pair - Bond pair repulsions are greater in water than that in `H_(2) `S because .O. Atom is smaller than .S. atom .
