    The bond angle between the p orbital is assumed to be 90 degrees But according to VSEPR theory, as molecular geometry is a little bit bent thus the angle is less than 109.5 degrees.

    Explanation:

    IN hydrogen sulfide, H_2 S, both hydrogen atoms consist of para-magnetic 1s orbital while sulfur consists of diamagnetic 3s and 2 para magnetic 3p orbital.

    The bond angle between the p orbital is assumed to be 90 degrees But according to VSEPR theory, as molecular geometry is a little bit bent thus the angle is less than 109.5 degrees.
