Hydrogen
What else can I help you with?
Can hydrogen lose an electron and form an ion?
Yes, usually in acid/base reactions, hydrogen splits from the acid and will leave an electron to form a proton. It is called a proton because without any electrons, that's all it is: a proton with a charge of +1.
Do acids make hydrogen when they react with some metals?
Yes, acids can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. The acid will donate protons to the metal, causing it to lose electrons and form metal ions. The liberated electrons then reduce hydrogen ions in the acid to produce hydrogen gas.
What is hydrogen cyanide called as an acid?
Hydrocyanic acid
Is hydrogen peroxide a base or an acid?
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid.
Is hydrogen peroxide an acid or a base?
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid.

What molecule loses a proton to form the nitrate ion?
The molecule of nitric acid lose a hydrogen atom, not only a proton.
Why does zinc react with sulphuric acid to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?
Zinc is above hydrogen in the reactivity series while copper is below. Since zinc has a higher tendency to lose electrons than hydrogen it then displaces hydrogen ions from solution.
How do atoms of iron go into acid?
As with most other metals when iron reacts with an acid the hydrogen in an acid basically steals electrons from the iron, forming hydrogen gas. The iron, now in the form of ions, becomes part of the corresponding iron salt.
When you make hydrogen from magnesuim or zinc and an acid where does the hydrogen come from?
From the acid (or the water with which the acid is diluted).
What is hydrogen cyanide called as an acid?
Hydrocyanic acid
Is hydrogen peroxide a base or an acid?
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid.
Is hydrogen peroxide an acid or a base?
Hydrogen peroxide is a weak acid.
Does hydrogen react with water or acid?
Hydrogen does not react with water. In an acid, hydrogen can react to form hydrogen gas and a salt.
What happens to the magnesium atoms when you mix it with dilute hydrochloric acid?
When magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, it produces magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. The magnesium atoms lose electrons to form magnesium ions, while hydrogen ions from the acid gain electrons to form hydrogen gas.
What is percent of hydrogen in sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) contains two hydrogen atoms in the molecule. To find the percentage of hydrogen in sulfuric acid, divide the atomic mass of hydrogen by the molar mass of sulfuric acid and multiply by 100. This calculation gives approximately 2.03% hydrogen in sulfuric acid by mass.
