Under standard conditions, hydrogen is a non-metal (H2 gas,) but chemically, it can actually behave like a metal. Often, it bonds with other non-metals in the same proportion as other group 1 elements, all of which (except hydrogen) are alkali metals. It can also bond with metals as a hydride, where it acts more like a non-metal. Acids can lose a hydrogen ion, which has a charge of +1, just like many metals. Finally, under extreme pressure, hydrogen can actually become a metallic liquid; it is theorized that Jupiter's core is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen.
Ice is nonmetallic. It is a solid form of water, which is composed of covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Metals, on the other hand, typically have metallic bonds that allow them to conduct electricity and heat.
Hydrogen, symbol H, atomic number 1, is a non metal.
Usually a metallic element will not react with water and so will not change pH. However, a highly reactive metal, such as sodium, potassium or calcium will react with water to form the corresponding metal hydroxide, and so forms a base.
2 non metallic elements = Nitrogen and Hydrogen
Granulated zinc has more surface area exposed to the acid, so the reaction can occur more rapidly.
Don't know, because granulated zinc IS metallic itself: solid, elemental Zn.
Metallic hydrogen is a physical state that hydrogen enters under extreme pressure.
The texture is something like granulated sugar
Hydrogen hasn't metallic properties.
It is believed that both Jupiter and Saturn contain metallic hydrogen in their interiors due to the extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Uranus and Neptune are not thought to have metallic hydrogen in their interiors.
Hydrogen itself does not have lustre as it is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas at room temperature. However, in its solid form as metallic hydrogen, it may have a metallic lustre.
Hydrogen can act similarly to a metal chemically and at very intense pressures it is theorized to be metallic.
Yes, MgH2 is a metallic hydride because it is a compound formed between a metal (Mg) and hydrogen (H). Metallic hydrides have characteristics such as high hydrogen storage capacity and can release hydrogen gas under certain conditions.
No. Liquid metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is subjected to extreme pressure. Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in Earth's atmosphere in gas form, under low pressure. The core is composed primarily of iron. Liquid metallic hydrogen likely exists in the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
Yes. Although hydrogen is a non-metal, there is metallic hydrogen. It is formed when hydrogen is sufficiently compressed and undergoes a phase change; it is an example of degenerate matter. Solid metallic hydrogen consists of a crystal lattice of protons with a spacing which is significantly smaller than a Bohr radius. Indeed, the spacing is more comparable with an electron wavelength. The electrons are unbound and behave like the conduction electrons in a metal. As is the dihydrogen molecule H2, metallic hydrogen is an allotrope. In liquid metallic hydrogen, protons do not have lattice ordering.
