It's special, because it has only one electron, while the ideal "noble gas" configuration (helium) would call for two.

EXPLANATION:

So in one way it could 'try' to gain an electron as any element from halogen group (F-Cl-Br...) would do.
On the other hand it could lose its one electron, in which case it would belong to the alkali metals (Li-Na-K...).

In practice, H mostly shares its electron, either by covalent bonds, or by donating an electron and working together with H2O to form the H3O+or 'acid' ion.

In short, H is too special to to put it in a specific Group.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.

What happens to elements when they combine together chemically ?
lara [203]

Answer:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place
