H2o is liquid at room temperature but H2s is not |
| Answer» The ability of Oxygen atom to pull electrons is greater than of Sulphur i.e. O is more electronegative than S. When Hydrogen is connected to a highly electronegative element like Oxygen (this usually happens with fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen), it has higher intermolecular forces like Hydrogen bonding. Its a very strong bond that packs the water molecules closely together, forming a liquid while sulphur does not attract H nearly as strongly so they dissociate into a gas. | |
