Each hydrogen atom has one electron on its outer shell. The first electronic shell of any element can only hold 2 electrons, this means that each hydrogen atom needs one electron.
2 hydrogen atoms 'share' their electrons with each other, this can be shown on a dot and cross diagram. Each hydrogen now has 2 electrons on their outer shell and they have become stable.

Hydrogen can form one covalent bond.
Hydrogen and chlorine form a covalent bond when they combine to make hydrogen chloride (HCl). In this type of bond, electrons are shared between the two atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
O-H - C-H H-Cl The only covalent bond hydrogen can make is a single sigma bond with it's one electron.
One covalent bond is between iodine and hydrogen.
No, it is not difficult to make hydrogen and chlorine bond. They will readily form a covalent bond to create hydrogen chloride gas, which is a simple and common compound.
Hydrogen and germanium can form a covalent bond, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This bond is typically formed by sharing a pair of electrons between the two atoms.
Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.
because hydrogen is make only one covalent bond
No, hydrogen and oxygen do not form an ionic bond. They typically form a covalent bond when they combine to make water (H2O). In this bond, they share electrons instead of transferring them.
It depends what compound it is in. In water it is covalent. In trichloracetic acid it is ionic.
Water molecules have two simple covalent bonds between one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. Covalent bonds are also known as organic bonds.
