The reason why there are only two elements in the first period of the periodic table is because hydrogen is the main reactant while helium is the main non-reactant.

The first period has less elementsthan any other periods in the periodic table. There are only two elements in the first period: hydrogen and helium. We can explain why there is lesselements in the first row in modern theories of atomic structure. ... Theseelements can only hold two electrons, both in the 1s orbital

Refer to the following illustration. How many hydrogen atoms could bond with oxygen?
WITCHER [35]
2. 

The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms. 

6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8

Enzymes work by _____. enzymes work by _____. decreasing the potential energy difference between reactant and product adding ene
Anton [14]
The appropriate answer is they decrease the potential energy difference between reactant and product. They do this by bringing products and reactants together at the active site on the enzyme molecule. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction itself. So one molecule of an enzyme is used many times to catalyze the reaction of other molecules.
