Is hydrogen sulfide a water-like solvent? Chemistry Bonding Basics Covalent Bonding 1 Answer anor277 Aug 30, 2017 My word.......... Explanation: #H_2S# is an analogue of water, and contains #2xxS-H# bonds. Because these bonds are LESS polar, less charge-separated, than the #O-H# bonds of water, #H_2S#, tho water-like, has a boiling point of #-60# #""^@C#.
