Question

explain why H20 is neutral whereas H2s is acidic

Answer 1

Water is acidic and o is more electronegativity than s

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Explaination -
- Electronegativity difference between H & O is larger and thus forms stronger H-O bond.
- Also H-O bond is shorter, thus stronger.
- Therefore, breaking this bond is harder and H2O is neutral molecule.
- Electronegativity difference between H & S is lesser and thus forms weaker H-S bond.
- Also H-S bond is longer, thus weaker.
- Therefore, breaking this bond is easier and H2S is acidic molecule.

Hope this helped you...
