Hydrogen has the electron configuration of 1s1 meaning that Hydrogen has only one electron. Because of this, Hydrogen is a moderately reactive substance and behaves atypically both in intermolecular and atomic bonding.
The most notable behaviour of Hydrogen is Hydrogen bonding. When hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element, such as Fluorine in HF, the electron density is pulled away from the weak hydrogen atom, leaving the hydrogen almost completely deprived of electrons and a δ+ charge. This induces nearby atoms in other molecules to share their lone pair electrons with the hydrogen, effectively producing a bond similar to a covalent bond, however between molecules.
Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force and is present in compounds such as water, where the Hδ+ Effectively 'bonds' with the lone pairs of the oxygen atoms in neighbouring molecules, which is why water and ice show unusual properties.

Explain why some elements are stable on their own while others are more stable in compounds?
its because some are naturally stable like helium, when some like hydrogen have an extra electron in their electron clouds. That's why they are unstable. When they meet with an element with one extra electron they can be stable because the first electron cloud holds 2 electrons. ex. : hydrogen - 1 electron hydrogen - 1 electron adding both together will give you a full eletron cloud. Hope this helps!
What are two compounds found in nature?
Compounds are a combination of two or more elements that form a molecule. Bonds can be covalent or ionic, and depend on the atoms involved. Natural compounds are atomic combinations found in nature and are created by natural processes. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Ammonia (NH3) are both natural compounds.
Elements found in water?
The only elements in pure water are those of which water itself is comprised ...hydrogen and oxygen. In impure water, any other elements that are themselvessoluble in water, or that are components of water-soluble compounds, or that areground up fine enough to be physically suspended in water, can also be found.
