Explain why hydrogen sulfide is a gas at room temperature, whereas water, which has a lower molecular mass, is a liquid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, Hydrogen bonds are stronger among \(\rm{O}\) atoms.

Step by step solution

01

Explain why hydrogen sulfide is a gas at room temperature.

This is due to higher electro negativity of oxygen which can as such form much stronger hydrogen bonds \(( - \rm{O} - \rm{H} - - - {\rm{O}} - )\) then are the hydrogen bonds among sulfur atoms \(( - {\rm{S}} - {\rm{H}} - {\rm{ - }} - {\rm{S}} - )\).

Therefore, Hydrogen bonds are stronger among \(\rm{O}\) atoms.
