Molecular Geometry of H2S

The video tutorial explains how to determine the molecular geometry of H2S. It begins with the Lewis structure, showing the arrangement of atoms and lone pair electrons. The video then explores the 3D structure of H2S, highlighting the differences from the flat Lewis structure. The AXN notation is introduced as a method to find molecular geometry without visualizing the 3D structure. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on bond angles, emphasizing the bent shape of H2S and its bond angle of 109.5 degrees.
