H2S is an example of _ hydride.

Correct answer: B. Covalent

  • A. Ionic
  • B. Covalent
  • C. Complex
  • D. Metallic
  • E. Border - line hydride

Explanation

Covalent hydrides are formed when hydrogen reacts with other similar electronegative elements like Si, C,etc. H2S is a covalent hydride because the two elements used in the formation of this hydride are non-metals.

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.
