Question

Assertion :Statement $-$ 1 : The bond angle in $H_{2}O$ is greater than $H_{2}S$. Reason: Statement $-$ 2 : H $-$ bonding does not occur in $H_{2}S$ due to low electronegativity of $S$.

• A. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.
• B. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.
• C. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is false.
• D. Statement $-$ 1 is false, Statement $-$ 2 is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.

As oxygen has higher electronegativity so here repulsion between bond pair-bond pair is more and bond angle is more than $H_{2}S$.
