In ethanol the oxygen of -OH group is bonded to the sp3 hybridised carbon by a sigma bond. The -C-O-H bond angle in ethanol is less than the tetrahedral angle (109° 28) due to larger repulsions between the lone pairs of repulsions between the lone pairs of oxygen. Hence it is 104° in ethanol.

Oxygen and sulphur both are the member of same group in periodic table but H2O is liquid while H2S is gas because
molecular weight of water is more
electronegativity of sulphur is more
H2S is weak acid
water molecules are having weak hydrogen bonds between them
