Hydrogen sulphide is acidic while water ...

Hydrogen sulphide is acidic while water is neutral. The reason is

A

molecular weight of `H_(2)S` is more than `H_(2)O`water molecules associate, while `H_(2)S` molecules does not

B

water molecules associate, while `H_(2)S` molecules does not

C

H-S bond is weaker than `H-O` bond due to the bigger size of S-atom

D

S-atoms has less affinity for hydrogen atom than O-atom has for it

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Hydrogen sulphide is acidic because H-S bond is weaker than H-O bond due to bigger size of S-atom.
