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....

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-...

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

State as to why
(a) Alkali metals show only +1 oxidation state. (b) Na and K impart colour to the flame but Mg does not.(c) Lithium on being heated in air mainly forms the monoxide and not the peroxide.(d) Li is the best reducing agent in aqueous solution.

a) There is only one valence electron in Alkali metals, on loosing one electron alkali metals achieve noble gas configuration which is most stable. Therefore, in order to achieve stability Alkali metals...

In a metallic bond, why positive ions are called kernels, not cations?
The kernel is an atom without its valence electrons that are weakly bonded; no electron belongs to one nucleus, valence electrons can move one kernel to another. So it is known as kernel, not cation (have valency).
