Question

Is the London dispersion force greater between molecules of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or molecules of water (H2O)?

Answer 1

London dispersion forces are greater between molecules of `"H"_2"S"`.

Explanation:

The strength of London dispersion forces depends on the number of electrons creating the temporary dipoles.

A sulfur atom contains more electrons than an oxygen atom does.

Therefore, `"H"_2"S"` will have stronger London dispersion forces.
