Why's the boiling point of hydrogen sulfide slightly higher than hydrogen selenide?

Sulfur is not nearly as electronegative as oxygen so that hydrogen sulfide is not nearly as polar as water. Because of this, comparatively weak intermolecular forces exist for H2S and the melting and boiling points are much lower than they are in water.

Is hydrogen sulfide a solid?
This largely depends on the pressure and temperature that the Hydrogen Sulfide is at. However, at room temperature hydrogen sulfide is a gas. At normal pressure it condenses to liquid at -60 °C (boiling point) and solidifies at -80 °C (melting point).
Will hydrogen sulfide explode?
Yes. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable.
What is hydrogen sulfide symbol?
The chemical formula for hydrogen sulfide is H2S.
Hydrogen sulfide has how many atoms?
Hydrogen Sulfide has a total of three atoms. Hydrogen has two, and Sulfur has one. H2S.
What is the molar mass of hydrogen sulfide?
Hydrogen sulfide, H2S has a molar mass of 34.08088g/mol.
When Hydrogen sulfide is boiling is it a chemical or physical change?
It is a physical change. This is so because no new substance is formed. Hydrogen Sulfide is Hydrogen Sulfide wether it is boiling, at room temperature, or freezing.
Colourless gas beginning with h?
Hydrogen, helium, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen selenide, hydrogen telluride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide.
What the formula for K2Se?
Potassium sulfide

Is hydrogen sulfide gas soluble in water?
slightly soluble, it will make water slightly acidic
Why is the boiling point of water greater than hydrogen sulfide?
because in water between hydrogen and oxygen hydrogen bonds are more stable but it is not in dihydrogensulphide .
Why water has a high boiling point compared with hydrogen sulfide a compound with a similar structure?
Hydrogen bonding is a very strong intermolecular attraction for one water molecule to another. Hydrogen sulfide, because of the lower electronegativity of sulfur does not have hydrogen bonding. This strong attraction must be overcome to make the substance boil.
Will hydrogen sulfide explode?
Yes. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable.
What is hydrogen sulfide symbol?
The chemical formula for hydrogen sulfide is H2S.
Which of the following statements is NOT true about hydrogen sulfide?
hydrogen sulfide is not hazardous
What is the compound name for H2S2?
Hydrogen persulphide, or hydrogen di0sulphide. It has the structure 'H-S-S-H'.
Is hydrogen sulfide mined?
No, hydrogen sulfide is NOT minable, because it is gaseous, not mineral.
