It is used for cutting glass, marble stones and other hard materials and for drilling rocks. It is a bad conductor of electricity. It is the hardest material known.
Question : 10
$H_2O$ is liquid and $H_2S$ is a gas because
a) atomic radius of oxygen is less than that of sulphur.
b) oxygen is less electronegative than sulphur.
c) oxygen forms stronger hydrogen bonding than sulphur.
d) atomic radius of oxygen is greater than that of sulphur.
Answer »Answer: (c)
H2O has an intermolecular hydrogen bond between its molecules (H—O—H------H—O—H) while H2S has weak van der Waal’s forces between its molecules.
Hence the molecules of H2O are more strongly packed than H2S, thus water is a liquid state at room temperature.
