Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.
Explanation:
The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:
#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion
#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals
#It can also halides
Similarity to halogens:
#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.
#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2
#Have the same electronegativity nature
#its reaction with other metal
Answer:
true
Explanation:
H2O : 2 covalent bonds are established between O atom and 2 H atom (H--O--H) by mutual shearing of their valence electrons.
Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that refers to the bonding of <span>oppositely charged ions (anions and cations) because of attraction and the </span>transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. Cation is the metal that loses electrons and become a positively charged cation, and anions are
the nonmetal that accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
anion.
According this explanation, an ionic bond is:
B. the force that holds the valence electrons to the atom
When it passes from one medium
