1.

Account for the following :1. H2O is a liquid while H2S is a gas.2. H2S is more acidic than H2O3. SF6 is known while SH6 is not known.

Answer»

1. There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding in H2O molecule but there is no hydrogen bonding in H2S .

2. The S-H bond is weaker than O-H bond because size of S atom is greater than that of O atom. Hence H2S can dissociate to give H ions in aqueous solution.

3. In the higher oxidation state, S can combine only with highly electronegative elements like F.
