Bond angle of H2S is:
Correct answer: C. 92o
- A. 90o
- B. 104.5o
- C. 92o
- D. 105.5o
Explanation
The bond angle of H2S is 92.1 degrees. This is because the sulfur atom is sp3 hybridized, and the three H-S bonds are arranged in a trigonal pyramidal configuration. The lone pair of electrons on the sulfur atom repels the H-S bonds, which causes the bond angle to be slightly less than 109.5 degrees, which is the ideal bond angle for sp3 hybridized atoms.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
