The geometry and dipole moment of H ₂ ~S respectively are
Options
- Aangular and non-zero
- Bangular and zero
- Clinear and zero
- Dlinear and non-zero
Correct answer
A. angular and non-zero
Step-by-step solution
H ₂ ~S has an angular geometry because there are two lone pairs of electrons. The dipole moment is non-zero, because sulphur is more electronegative than hydrogen and this makes molecule slightly polar.
