Why is hydrogen sulfide a gas at room temperature but water is a liquid?

The intermolecular forces, namely hydrogen-bonding, in H2O are stronger than in H2S. This is because in H2O the bonds are more ionic and there is a larger partial positive charge on H and partial negative on O, so neighboring H2O molecules can bind to each other and cause a stronger network of bonded molecules, thus requiring more energy (higher temperature) to break these bonds and form a gas (where intermolecular forces no longer act).

What is the chemical equsion for Hydrogen sulfide plus oxygen equals water plus sulfur dioxide?
hydrogen sulfide + oxygen = water + sulfuer dioxide
What is the product of the reaction between calcium hydroxide and hydrogen sulfide?
Calcium Sulfide and water
Why hydrogen chloride is a liquid while hydrogen chloride is a gas?
At the standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen chloride exists as a gas. It does not exist in liquid state, but in aqueous medium along with water as a solvent.
What intermolecular forces explain why water is a liquid at room temperature?
You think probable to hydrogen bonds.
When liquid water is heated most of the energy that the water initially absorbs is used to raise the temperature of the water or break hydrogen bonds?
the .
How is water physically different then hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are both gases at room temperature, while water is a liquid at room temperature.
Is there hydrogen sulfide in water?
Not usually.
Why is hydrogen less dense than water?
At standard temperature and pressure (STP) hydrogen is a gas and water is a liquid.
Is the density of water more than the density of hydrogen sulfide?
It is substantially more when water is a liquid (it weighs 1000 g/cubic dm) as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas weighing 1.363 g/cubic dm. However, a molecule of hydrogen sulfide weighs more than a molecule of water (H2O).
What is the chemical equsion for Hydrogen sulfide plus oxygen equals water plus sulfur dioxide?
hydrogen sulfide + oxygen = water + sulfuer dioxide
Why water is liquid at room temperature give 2 reasons?
The inter molecular hydrogen bonding between oxygen and hydrogen of different water molecules results in the liquid state of water
Why is water a liquid at room temperature whereas carbon monoxide is a gas at room temperature?
Water exhibits hydrogen bonding
What shape would a molecule of hydrogen sulfide have?
A hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S, has a bent shape, similar to that of a water molecule.
What is the product of the reaction between calcium hydroxide and hydrogen sulfide?
Calcium Sulfide and water
What is Hydrogen sulfide called when dissolved in water?
I believe it is still called Hydrogen Sulfide, except that you would classify it as a Aqueous solution
How is the compound water different from its elements?
Water is a liquid at room temperature. Its elements are Hydrogen and oxygen which are gasses
Why hydrogen chloride is a liquid while hydrogen chloride is a gas?
At the standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen chloride exists as a gas. It does not exist in liquid state, but in aqueous medium along with water as a solvent.
