The geometry and dipole moment of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) respectively are

  1. A angular and non-zero
  2. B angular and zero
  3. C linear and zero
  4. D linear and non-zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) angular and non-zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) 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.
