Hydrogen has a valence of 1.
-1
One.Hydrogen has only 1 electron in total, and it is also a valence electron.
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
A silicon atom has 4 valence electrons and each hydrogen atom has one valence electron, for a total of 8.
One. A hydrogen atom contains only one electron, and it is a valence electron.
Two. One hydrogen atom has one valence electron, so two hydrogen atoms will have two valence electrons :)

hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell
there is one valence electron in hydrogen, and it needs one more electron to become stable
Hydrogen has a valency of 1
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Bromine has 7 valence electrons. When hydrogen and bromine react, the bromine atom 'steals' the hydrogen atom's only electron. The hydrogen atom then has no electrons and the bromine atom has 8 valence electrons. The two atoms are now ions because their number of protons does not equal their number of electrons. The bromine atom is now a bromide anion and the hydrogen atom is now a hydrogen cation (a proton). The two ions remain together, ionicly bonded and together are called hydrogen bromide.
Hydrogen is usually 1 valance in a resting state but can be raised in number of valances with loading as in heavy water or tritium, helium are higher valances.
H2 is not an atom, it is a diatomic molecule. Each hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. When two hydrogen atoms covalently bond to form an H2 molecule, there are two valence electrons being shared by the two atoms.
