H2S is far more volatile than water because :

As water has H-bonding due to the presence of highly electronegative oxygen but H2S does not (electronegativity of sulphur is low).

Question

H₂S is far more volatile than water because :

A.sulphur atom is more electronegative than oxygen atom.

B.oxygen being more electronegative than sulphur forms hydrogen bond.

C.H₂O has bond angle of nearly 105^o.

D.hydrogen atom is loosely bonded with sulphur.

As water has H-bonding due to the presence of highly electronegative oxygen but H₂S does not (electronegativity of sulphur is low).
