I assume you have come across VSEPR theory.
The central sulphur atom has 4 pairs of electrons around it (two pairs in the covalent bonds between S and H and two lone pairs that are sometimes drawn as rabbits ears!) If these four pairs repelled each other equally would form a tetrahedral angle of about 1090 ,this is the angle found in methane wheer the four pairs are identical and repel one another equally.
In H2S the two lone pairs repel more strongly and this pushes the hydrogen atoms closer together reducing the bond angle to 920

What is the bond angle of hydrogen cyanide?
The bond angle of Hydrogen Cyanide, or HCN, is 180 degrees. The structure looks like this: H-(single bond)-C-(triple bond)-N:
What is hydrogen's bond angle?
Hydrogen the molecule doesn't have a bond angle. You have to have an atom with at least two other atoms bonded to it to have a bond angle, and hydrogen has only two atoms total.
Is Hydrogen Sulphide is covalent or ionic compound?
Hydrogen Sulphide is covalent.They are both non-metals.
What is the bond angle for H2S?
The bond angle for H2S is 92.1­°.
What is the bond angle in a linear molecule?
The bond angle in the linear molecule is 180 degrees.
What is the bond angle of hydrogen cyanide?

Bond length in Hydrogen sulphide?
The bond length is similar to the Ethane (Ethz155)
What bond angle does H20 have?
The angle between the two Hydrogen atoms, ie the bond angle, is 104.45 degrees. This differs from the normal 109.5 degrees because the two lone electron pairs repel and are trying to distance themselves.
What is hydrogen's bond angle?
Hydrogen the molecule doesn't have a bond angle. You have to have an atom with at least two other atoms bonded to it to have a bond angle, and hydrogen has only two atoms total.

What is Bond angle structure and shape for propane?
butane is a member of alkane family.its bond angle that is between a and a hydrogen bond is 109.5 degree approx. and its geometry is tetrahedral,i.e, four cournered shape.
Does hydrogen sulphide have polar covalent bond?
electronegativities of hydrogen (2.20) and sulfur(2.58), the difference is 0.38, the difference is small, each S-H bond is polar covalent.
