Answer 2

Answer : The correct name of $H_2S$ compound is, Hydrogen sulfide.

Explanation :

As we know that, $H_2S$ is a covalent compound in which the sharing of electrons takes place between hydrogen and sulfur. Both the elements are non-metals and hence, will form covalent bond.

The nomenclature of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is written first.

The more electronegative element is written then, and a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on..

In $H_2S$, hydrogen is an electropositive element and sulfur is an electronegative element.

So, the correct name for $H_2S$ is hydrogen sulfide.
