Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen, but has electronegativity similar to carbon. Compared to water molecules, molecules of H₂S will ________.
A) have greater cohesion to other molecules of H₂S
B) have a greater tendency to form hydrogen bonds with each other
C) have a higher capacity to absorb heat for the same change in temperature
D) not form hydrogen bonds with each other

Question
