vdW forces rise as you go down Group 6 (16). This correlates quite well with the size and Mr of the molecules, and the size of their molecular electron clouds.

same shape, bent due to the 2 lone pair of electrons on top of O and S bp of H2S << H2O due to the lack of hydrogen bonding in H2S H2S, london dispersion forces present vs hydrogen bonding in H2O S is a larger atom than O O is more electronegative than S
