A hydrogen atom has one proton in its nucleus (and rarely a neutron, or two) and one electron in orbit around it. A hydrogen ion is formed when that electron is loaned out to another atom that wants to borrow it to form a chemical bond. For example, in hydrochloric acid (HCl), the hydrogen and the chlorine form ions in water, and the hydrogen floats around as H+ and the chlorine as Cl-. The difference between the hydrogen atom and the hydrogen ion is that the electron is still hanging around the proton in the hydrogen atom, and it's been loaned out (leaving the proton by itself) in the ion.

∙ 14y agoBoth are gaseous chemical substances. Hydrogen was discovered in 1781 by Cavendish. Its weight is 14 times less than water. Its very inflammable and this condition caused the dirigible airship Zeppelin to be set on fire, a long time ago.
Chlorine is obtained by electrolysis from sodium chloride. Chlorine, due to its affinity to hydrogen acts as an oxidant and destroy the colouring substances of vegetables and animals. That's the reason it is employed to whiten textiles. It is used mainly as an important bactericide.

Which chemical bond in the molecule of chloromethane is more polar the carbon-chlorine or carbon-hydrogen bond?
The chemical bond between carbon-chlorine has an electronegativity difference of 0.61. The bond between carbon-hydrogen has a difference of 0.35, thus is less polar than the carbon-chlorine bond.
Hydrogen oxygen and chlorine are?
Hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine are elements.
Why the reaction between hydrogen and chlorine is very slow at room temperature?
Because hydrogen molecule is very stable and it is because of high dissociation enthalpy of hydrogen molecule, it reacts slowly with chlorine at room temperature.
What is the difference between copper and chlorine?
copper is a red solid. Chlorine is a greenish gas.
How is hydogen chlorine different from hydrogen gas and chlorine gas?
Hydrogen chloride is a compound made from hydrogen and chlorine; the two are elements by themselves.
Which chemical bond in the molecule of chloromethane is more polar the carbon-chlorine or carbon-hydrogen bond?
The chemical bond between carbon-chlorine has an electronegativity difference of 0.61. The bond between carbon-hydrogen has a difference of 0.35, thus is less polar than the carbon-chlorine bond.
Why Cl2 has a nonpolar covalent bond while HCl has a polar covalent bond?
Their is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of chlorine, but there is a big enough difference between chlorine and hydrogen to have the electron of hydrogen spend more time in the orbital of chlorine than in the hydrogen orbital, thus this molecule is slightly charged on either end (+/-) and therefore polar covalent.
What is the chemical bond between chlorine and hydrogen?
The chemical bond between chlorine and hydrogen is polar covalent.
What is the difference between formula H 2 and formula HCI?
H2 is the formula for pure Hydrogen gas, whereas HCl is Hydrochloric Acid, which is a compound of Hydrogen and Chlorine.
Why is hydrogen chloride polar covalent?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a polar covalent molecule because it has a significant difference in electronegativity between the hydrogen and chlorine atoms. Chlorine is more electronegative, meaning it has a stronger attraction for electrons, causing the shared electron pair between hydrogen and chlorine to be unequally shared. As a result, the chlorine atom acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge. This uneven distribution of charge creates a dipole moment, making HCl a polar covalent molecule.
How do you make HCl from NaCl?
1. Electrolysis of sodium chloride products are NaOH, chlorine and hydrogen. 2. The product of the reaction between chlorine and hydrogen is hydrogen chloride.
What is the difference between spa chlorine and Pool chlorine?
nada
What kind of bond do hydrogen and clorine make?
Though they dissociate into ions in an aqueou solution, a bond between hydrogen and chlorine is covalent.
What kind of bond is formed between hydrogen and chlorine?
A covalent bond.
What is the difference between hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is HCl, one hydrogen atom and one chlorine. Sulfuric acid is H2SO4, two hydrogen, one sulfur, four oxygen atoms.
Hydrogen oxygen and chlorine are?
Hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine are elements.
Whats the difference between chlorine 35 and chlorine 37?
Chlorine-37 has more neutrons in it than Chlorine 35
