In H2S molecule have two hydrogen atom and one sulphur atom. Each H atom have 1valance electron and a sulphur have 6 valance elctron. 2valance election of sulphur atom bonded with two hydrogen atom and remaining 4 valance electron are unpaired so they formed the loan pair of electron. Loan pair of electron...

Loan pair of electron push the bond between the hydrogen and sulphur atom to form a bend molecule like water.... In PCl3 P undergoes sp3 hybridization state and P atom contain 1 loan pair of electron. It has pyramidal shape read less

According to vsepV theory covalent molecule tends to take geometry in the space in such a mamnner so that they have minimum repulsion .bp - bp has least repulsion while lp-lp has maximum repulsion. In water molecule there are 2 bond pair and 2 lone pair and has hybridization sp3 but due to bp- lp lp-...

According to vsepV theory covalent molecule tends to take geometry in the space in such a mamnner so that they have minimum repulsion .bp - bp has least repulsion while lp-lp has maximum repulsion. In water molecule there are 2 bond pair and 2 lone pair and has hybridization sp3 but due to bp- lp lp- lp repulsion angle deviate to tetrahedral to bent. In case of PCl5 it has 3 bp and 1 lone pair and hybridization SP3d and because of one lone pair it has greater repulsion and shape deviate from regular trigonal bipyramidal. read less
