Question

Give reasons: $H _2 S$ has a lower boiling point than $H _2 O$.

✓

Answer

Hydrogen bonding and molecular association are not present in $H _2 S$.
The $H _2 O$ molecules are associated with each other through intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Hence, $H _2 S$ has a lower boiling point than $H _2 O$.
