Chapter 3, Problem 3.103P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To estimate the $\text{H}-\text{O}$ and $\text{H}-\text{S}$ distances in ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ molecules respectively.

Concept Introduction:

The sum of the atomic radii of the two atoms of a bond gives the distance between those two atoms. This is nothing but the bond length. This is measured in picometers.
