H2O is liquid and H2S is a gas because-
Oxygen forms stronger hydrogen bond thansulphur
Correct AnswerOxygen is less electronegative thansulphu
Incorrect AnswerAtomic radius of oxygen is less than that ofsulphur
Incorrect AnswerAtomic radius of oxygen is greater than that ofsulphur
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
In H2?O there is hydrogen bonding because oxygen has a high electronegativity.
So, the hydrogen atoms from other molecules of water form a hydrogen bonds with oxygen resulting in intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Therefore at room temperature, H2?O is a liquid and H2?S is a gas.
