Identify the kinds of intermolecular forces that are present in each element or compound. h2s

Dipole-dipole

Explanation:

H and S are nonmetals, so they form covalent bonds.

The molecule has a central atom S, 2 ligands H, and 2 lone pairs of electrons around the central atom. According to the VESPR theory, the molecular geometry is bent.

The bonds are slightly polar because the difference in electronegativity is EN(S) - EN(H) = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4. However, due to the bent geometry, the individual dipole moments are added, resulting in a net dipole moment.

Since H₂S molecules are polar, the intermolecular forces between H₂S molecules are dipole-dipole.
