Often a hydrogen atom is found to bond to another hydrogen atom explain why hydrogen atoms would want to do this?

All atoms are hungry to have a full "ring" of electrons. Since hydrogen has 1 electon in its only ring it wants more. To have a complete ring an atom must have 2 in the first ring 8 in the second and third and fourth and so on. That is why alkali metals and halogens are so reactive, they have only 1 electron in their outer "ring." They're really not rings or obits but that is the best way to explain this.

How could one explain what hydrogen bonds are?
Hydrogen bonds is the process when hydrogen atoms interact and are attracted to other atoms such as nitrogen. It happens naturally in substances like water.
Explain what happens when two hydrogen atoms bond?
Each hydrogen atom has 1 electron. When two hydrogen atoms combine they each share that electron with the other hydrogen atom, creating a covalent bond and a molecule of H2.
What atoms are in hydrogen?
Hydrogen is composed of hydrogen atoms.
Both H2O2 and 2OH- are chemical species with two hydrogen atoms and two oxgen atoms Briefly explain how these species are different?
H2O2 is a molecule known as hydrogen peroxide It has n net charge. 2OH- is two hydroxide ions, they are separate from one another and each carry a -1 charge.
Explain the number and kinds of atoms in the formula H2O2?
2 parts hydrogen and 2 pArts oxygen
What atoms are in hydrogen gas?
Only hydrogen atoms.
Do an element molecule compound or mixture explain when 2 oxygen atoms bond chemically with 2 hydrogen atoms and hydrogen peroxide is formed?
1. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound.2. Because the direct method of preparation is not possible hydrogen peroxide is obtained from oxygen and hydrogen by the intermediate of antraquinone, using a palladium catalyst.
How many hydrogen atoms does cyclohexane have?
Since the chemical formula for Cycohexane is C6H12, it has 12 atoms of Hydrogen.
Why one mole of hydrogen molecule and one mole of hydrogen atoms have different masses?
because there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the molecule of hydrogen atoms
How many atoms does hydrogen proxide have?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contains two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen for a total of four atoms.
What kind of atoms are in a molecule of hydrogen?
A hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms.
