Question
Account for the following :
H2S has lower boiling point than H2O.
Advertisements
Solution
H2S molecules are involved in weaker hydrogen bonding than H2O molecules. This is because of the lower electronegativity of sulphur than oxygen. So, less energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds in H2S. Thus, the boiling point of H2S is lower than that of H2O.
