H2O is liquid and H2S is a gas because.(a) oxygen forms stronger hydrogen level than sulphur. (b) oxygen is less electronegative than sulphur. (c) atomic radius of oxygen is less than that of sulphur. (d) atomic radius of oxygen is greater than that of sulphur

Answer»

(a) oxygen forms stronger hydrogen level than sulphur.

Explanation:

H2O has intermolecular hydrogen bond between its molecules (H—O—H------H—O—H) while H2S has weak Van der Waals forces between it's molecules. Hence the molecules of H2O are strongly packed than H2S, thus water is at liquid state at room temperature.
