Question

The geometry of $H_{2}S$ and its dipole moment are:

• A. Angular and non zero
• B. Angular and zero
• C. Linear and non zero.
• D. Linear and zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A Angular and non zero

Number of electron pairs = 4
Number of bond pairs = 2
Number of lone pairs = 2
So, according to VSEPR theory, to have minimum repulsions, it acquires bent shape as shown below,

It is unsymmetrical molecule thus, it will have some dipole moment
