Both water and hydrogen sulphide gas have molecular structures or are molecular substances (made up of molecules) . For molecular substances, increase in molecular mass leads to increase in melting point and boiling point. Water has a molecular mass of 18g/mol and hydrogen sulphide has a molecular mass of 34g/mol , so it is expectedContinue reading “In terms of structure and bonding, explain why Hydrogen sulphide exist in gaseous state ( low boiling point) while water exist in liquid form ( high boiling point) ?”

In terms of structure and bonding, explain why SO2 have a low boiling point while SiO2 have a high boiling although both have a covalent bond in between the atoms ?
Both Si02 and SO2 have covalent bonds in between their atoms , but SO2 have a molecular structure while SiO2 have a giant atomic structure. SO2 exist in gaseous form and have covalent bond in between their atoms and weak Van der Waals in between the molecules which are weak to break hence has aContinue reading “In terms of structure and bonding, explain why SO2 have a low boiling point while SiO2 have a high boiling although both have a covalent bond in between the atoms ?”
