Question

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

• A. angular and non-zero
• B. angular and zero
• C. linear and zero
• D. linear and non-zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A angular and non-zero

$H_{2}S$ has a bent (angular) shape. The $H-S$ dipoles point toward the $S$. The overall molecular dipole points toward the $S$ on a line half-way between the $H$ atoms.So dipole moment is a non zero

Hence option $A$ is correct.
