a. Write the electronic configuration of the H atom.
b. Draw the structure of an H2 molecule.
c. Which type of bond is present in an H2 molecule?
d. What 'value' does the above bond type propagate?
e. Which metal is used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of oils to fats?
a. The electronic configuration of the Hydrogen (H) atom is 1s1
b. Structure of an H2 molecule.
c. H2 is formed by the covalent sharing of two electrons. One electron from each atom.
Hence, a single bond is present in H2.
d. The value that the above bond type propagate is that we can complete each other's needs and become content by simple sharing.
e. The metal Nickel (Ni) is used as the catalyst in the hydrogenation of oils to fats.
