Is hydrogen always partially positive when bonded to another atom?

No, when bonded with a boron atom or other metalloid hydrogen has a partial negative charge.
When bonded with an alkali metal such as sodium it has a full negative charge. That is, it forms a negative ion.

What are substances that releases positively charged hydrogen ions while what are substances that accept positively charged hydrogen ions?
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
Do hydrogen bonds always involve hydrogen?
As far as I know: yes! They involve hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element (like oxygen). This Hydrogen in the molecule is then attracted to another electronegative element (like oxygen, nitrogen etc)
Is C H ionic or covalent bond?
No. A hydrogen bond occurs when H is bonded to a strongly electronegative element like oxygen in a compound. The oxygen attracts the electrons in the bond stronger than the hydrogen setting up partial positive and partial negative charges in the H and O respectively in a single molecule. A nearby molecule with the same charges will be attracted (opposites attract, even with these partial charges.) This attraction from one molecule to another is a hydrogen bond because it involves the hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge.
What is the chemical name of H2?
Dihydrogen because there's two hydrogen and di is the prefix for two
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen?
H2 The chemical symbol for hydrogen is H, however hydrogen is one of the seven diatomic elements ( also including oxygen, bromine, fluorine, iodine, nitrogen, and chlorine), meaning that it is never found alone in nature, and always bonds with another hydrogen atom to form H2.
Is a happy number times another happy number always a happy number?
Well if you mean positive then yes a positive times a positive is always a positive! Those numbers always have their calculators half full :)
What does a plus and a plus make in algebra?
A positive number added to another positive number always results in a positive sum.
When you add a positive number by a positive number is the number negative or positive?
Positive numbers always result in positive numbers when added, divided, or multiplied by another positive number.
Why should a car battery's positive terminal be connected first for charging?
Batteries vent Hydrogen gas. You should always connect the positive battery cable first to avoid a spark at the battery that could cause the Hydrogen to explode. The negative cable should never be connected to the battery negative post. It should be connected to another ground area on the engine.
What are substances that releases positively charged hydrogen ions while what are substances that accept positively charged hydrogen ions?
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
When can the square of a negative number be negative?
This can never be. The square of any number will always be positive. Any positive number multiplied by another positive number will be positive, while any negative number multiplied by another negative number will be positive.
Is hydrogen positive or negative?
A hydrogen atom is neutral as it has the same number of protons and electrons. But as an ion, it can be either positive or negative.We usually talk about it in the positive sense; eg. It would donate it's outer electron and gain a positive charge; H+. However, in some compounds it can have a negative charge, H-.In a standard question though, always assume that it loses it's outer electron and is positively charged unless told otherwise in the question.
Does hydrogen have a negative charge?
Hydrogen is Positive.
Why compressibility factor graph of hydrogen is always positive?
due to the lack of polarity in the hydrogen molecule as a result of it containing two of the same atom, and also the dominant force between the hydrogen molecules is the repulsion force, that tends to increase the volume
Do hydrogen bonds always involve hydrogen?
As far as I know: yes! They involve hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element (like oxygen). This Hydrogen in the molecule is then attracted to another electronegative element (like oxygen, nitrogen etc)
Which comes first in a chemical formula lithium or hydrogen?
Lithium. Lithium and hydrogen combine to make lithium hydride, an ionic compound, in which lithium is the cation (positive) and hydrogen is the anion (negative). The cation is always first in the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
What elements make up an oxoacid?
It always has an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom. There is always at least another atom depending on which chemical formula you are referring to.
