The H-S-H bond angle in is 92.2° whereas the H-O-H bond angle in is

1.	The H-S-H bond angle in is 92.2° whereas the H-O-H bond angle in is 104.5°, why?
Answer» due to dipole dipole INTERACTION..O is highly ELECTRO NEGATIVE whereas S is not SOO electro negative...There happens the repulsive action and so the ANGLE in H2O is more...Hope it helps you..
