Out of H_(2)Oand H_(2)S, which one has higher bond angle and why ? |
| Answer» Solution :Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphuur, therefore, bond PAIR electrons of the O-H bond will be closer to oxygen than the bond pair electrons of S-H bond which will be LITTLE away from the SULPHUR atom. As a result, bond pair-bond pair REPULSIONS would be stronger in O-H bonds than in the S-H bonds. Consequently, bond angle in `H_(2)O (104.5^(@))` is HIGHER than in `H_(2)S(92.1^(@))` | |
