Hydrogen gains stability by forming diatomic particles (H2). When two hydrogen atoms come together to form a covalent bond (sharing electrons), they both complete the 1s subshell, which makes both atoms happy.

Why is HCI covalent?

HCI (hydrogen chloride) is a covalent compound because it is formed by the sharing of electrons between the hydrogen and chlorine atoms. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to gain stability by achieving a full valence shell.


What is the effect of feed back on gain?

A: Number one it provide stability for the amplifier or system. The greater the feedback the greater the stability but less gain. In other words gain is inversely related to feedback

Does oxidation gain or lose oxygen or hydrogen?

Oxidation typically involves the loss of electrons or the gain of oxygen atoms. Oxidation does not necessarily involve the gain or loss of hydrogen atoms; however, in some cases, oxidation reactions can involve the loss of hydrogen atoms.


How many electrons will hydrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?

Hydrogen usually loses its single electron to become a hydrogen ion, H+.

How do hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom?

Hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom by helping to balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. Neutrons also play a role in determining the mass of the atom and can affect its stability by influencing the nuclear forces within the nucleus.


How could Cl change to gain stability?

Chlorine (Cl) could gain stability by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell, forming a chloride ion (Cl-). This allows it to have a full octet, making it more stable.
