Answer 2

Any idea?

H2 has two hydrogen atoms

Do you know the difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds?
Would H2 have a single bond or a double bond between each other?

Answer 3

I was thinking either single covalent bond

Answer 4

Or Double covalent bond

Answer 5

But Two hydrogen atoms, each containing one electron, approach each other in the formation of a molecule of hydrogen. Each atom needs a total of two electrons to fill their outermost energy level and make them stable.

Answer 6

You're doing well so far!



Hydrogen has one electron.
Two electrons make one bond.

So would it be a single bond or a double bond?

Answer 7

Single bond

Answer 8

Good! So what's your final answer?

Answer 9

My final answer is that it is a Single covalent bond

Answer 10

That is correct!

Answer 11
