This is only true of the hydronium atom as it only has a single proton to it, and splitting an atom in the traditional sense would require more than a single nuclei. Deuterium can be split as it has one proton and one neutron. Tritium decomposes spontaneously.
Actually, I believe that splitting a hydrogen atom results in a nuclear bomb, but i ma be wrong. Please correct if I am. I know that a nuclear bomb has something to do with splitting a particular atom, though.
The atom bomb works by splitting either Uranium atoms or Plutonium atoms, both of which have plenty of protons and neutrons that can be split in a large number of ways.
The Hydrogen bomb works by fusing hydrogen atom together make Helium. There is actually more energy to be had from the H bomb as there is from the A bomb.
That is very true. Also, I have confirmation that the hydrogen atom can be split and that it causes a nuclear bomb.

∙ 14y agoThe hydrogen atoms are positioned to far apart by their connection to the oxygen atom for a hydrogen bond to form. In addition, the hydrogen's electron is involved in bonding to the oxygen and so is not available to make another bond.

In the water molecule, two hydrogen atoms bond with an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom has two unpaired electrons and each hydrogen pairs its single electron with one of the unpaired electrons of the oxygen atom. So two separate H-O bonds form to produce a water molecule.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, because hydrogen has only 1 valence electron.
But now experiment has shown that it can but only in a research lab under harsh conditions.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoBecause hydrogen has one orbital with one electron in it--it only forms single bonds because that's all it can form.

How many convalent bonds will an oxygen atom form with hydrogen atom?
It'll form either one (if something else is bonding to the oxygen atom) or two (if you're making water, in which case you need two hydrogen atoms).
What can water molecules form hydrogen bonds with?
Water is composed of Two Hydrogen atoms that form a polar covalent bond with an oxygen atom.
How many bonds do hydrogen atoms have?
A hydrogen atom can form only one bond.
How many Covalent bond does hydrogen form?
Hydrogen can form only one covalent bond because hydrogen has only one electron.
What type of bond is predicted to form between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom?
A covalent bond due to the fact that they are both non-metals
How is a hydrogen bonds different from the convalent bonds that connect each water molcule's atoms?
covalent bond is the sharing of 2 electrons form each atom while in hydrogen bond there is no sharing of electrons. Hydrogen bond is partial bond due to attraction of Hydrogen atom with negative charge of other molecule so it is having only electrostatic attarction.
How many convalent bonds will an oxygen atom form with hydrogen atom?
It'll form either one (if something else is bonding to the oxygen atom) or two (if you're making water, in which case you need two hydrogen atoms).
What causes an atom to form a hydrogen bond?
A hydrogen bond is a weak bond formed between two molecules or atoms. It is caused by an atom of hydrogen being attracted to spare electron pairs on a neighbouring atom.
How many bodns can a hydrogen atom form?
A hydrogen atom can not form more than one bond, because a hydrogen atom contains only one electron.
What can water molecules form hydrogen bonds with?
Water is composed of Two Hydrogen atoms that form a polar covalent bond with an oxygen atom.
How many bonds do hydrogen atoms have?
A hydrogen atom can form only one bond.
What type of bond form between a slightly positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a slightly negative atom in another molecule?
This is called a hydrogen bond.
How many Covalent bond does hydrogen form?
Hydrogen can form only one covalent bond because hydrogen has only one electron.
What type of bond is hydrogen?
A hydrogen bond is a very strong dipole-dipole bond. A hydrogen bond can only form between hydrogen and a strong electromagnetic atom; fluorine, oxygen or chlorine.
As a bond between a hydrogen atom and a sulfur atom is formed electrons are?
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
What is hydrogen atom and hydrogen molecule?
Two atoms of hydrogen form a hydrogen molecule.They are bonded with a covalent bond.
Does an H atom form a covalent bond with an N atom?
Yes Nitrogen and Hydrogen covalently bond to form ammonia and all the derivatives such as amines.
