Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

Why less electro negative elements are taken as central atom​
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:
