Question

The strongest intermolecular interactions between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecules arise from: Group of answer choices a) disulfide linkages b) dipole-dipole forces c) hydrogen bonding d) London dispersion forces.

Answer 1

Answer:

c) hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Like water molecules which are H2O, hydrogen disulfide also has a bent shape. However, unlike water, it cannot have hydrogen bonding. Why? Because hydrogen bonding only occurs with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine. I haven't heard of disulfide linkages. And yes, H2S has London dipersion forces. All polar molecules have LDFs. But greater than that, H2S has dipole-dipole forces. Event though it is a dipole-dipole bond, it is still highly electronegative.

Answer 2

Answer:

hydrogen bonding which is Option C

Explanation:

un

Unlike water, it cannot have hydrogen bonding.

Resson? Because hydrogen bonding only occurs with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.

There is know disulfide linkages. And yes, H2S has London dipersion forces. All polar molecules have LDFs. But greater than that, H2S has dipole-dipole forces. Event though it is a dipole-dipole bond, it is still highly electronegative.
