Here I found some info at Yahoo answers: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090119191941AAB7oAb
The more electronegative an atom is the more unwilling it is to lose its electrons in a compound. If you do try to take a very EN atom away from a compound you'll need to apply a lot of energy for that to happen. I can give an example of a single atom though 

<span>Cl has 7 valence electron filled and every atom wants to be like nobles (noble gases), so it's not going to give an electron away b/c it's really close to being like a noble gas. Noble gases are the most stable atoms, which is why I say stability counts.</span>

What is Chemistry and how do you relate in real life?
Neko [114]
It is known that chemistry is a BIG part of our everyday lives. You can find chemistry in daily life in foods you eat, air you breathe, soap, your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. For example, Chemistry explains how food changes as you cook it, how it rots, how to preserve food, how your body uses the food you eat, and how ingredients interact to make food.
Hope it helps! :)

How does atomic hydrogen torch function for cutting and welding purposes​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach   4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.
