Water is liquid while hydrogen sulphide is a gas at normal temperature. Why?
Water is liquid while hydrogen sulphide is a gas at normal temperature. Why?

In water, the oxygen is electronegative due to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding which is formed in the water molecules and exists in a liquid state. Whereas, the sulphur is less electronegative due to the absence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and thus exists in a gaseous state.
