Question

Elements are stable when they have two or eight electron in outermost shell but in case of H+ why it becomes stable when it does not have electron in outer most shell?

Answer 1

Dear student

H⁺ has no electrons in its shell. So it experiences no electronic repulsion from other electrons. Moreover H⁺ ions always exist in solution and can be always stabilised by anions like OH^-, Cl^- etc. So it gains an extra stability .
