Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Can adjacent H2S molecules have hydrogen bonding interactions?
A
yes
B
no
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, consider hydrogen sulfide, H2S, a molecule that has the same shape as water but does not contain hydrogen bonds. Due to its relatively weak intermolecular forces, H2S boils at about −60 °C and so is a gas at room temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fairly positive hydrogen on one HF molecule will be attracted to one of these lone pairs on a nearby HF molecule. This is a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are attractions between a
