Hydrogen is a diatomic element needing another one of its kind to be stable so another hydrogen atom would bond with it making H2, but there could be other elements that need just one electron to be happy can also bond with Hydrogen (like Fluorine, which makes Hydofluoric Acid).

How many hydrogen atoms would it take to make a stable compound with oxygen?

For the water molecule (H2O) two hydrogen atoms are needed.


What bond does hydrogen and germanium make?

Hydrogen and germanium can form a covalent bond, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This bond is typically formed by sharing a pair of electrons between the two atoms.


An oxygen atom needs how many hydrogen atoms to make itself stable?

Two.


How do hydrogen atoms make a covalant bond?

Two hydrogen atoms share their electrons; thus, both of them have two electrons each in their first shell and become stable.


How many hydrogen atoms are necessary to join with oxygen to make it a stable compound?

Two hydrogen atoms need to be combined with one oxygen atom to form a molecule of water (H2O). Or you could have two hydrogen to two oxygen atoms, forming hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but this is unstable and decomposes back to water and oxygen gas.


What kind of bond do hydrogen and clorine make?

Hydrogen and chlorine form a covalent bond when they combine to make hydrogen chloride (HCl). In this type of bond, electrons are shared between the two atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Covalent bonds tend to make atoms more stable by helping them do what?

Covalent bonds help atoms achieve a full valence shell of electrons, which is the most stable configuration. By sharing electrons in a covalent bond, atoms can reach this stable state and decrease their overall energy.


Forming ionic or covalent bonds helps make atoms more?

Stable by achieving a full outer electron shell. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Both types of bonds allow atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


What elements make O stable?

Two hydrogen make Oxygen stable.


How many hydrogen atoms will nitrogen bond with to form a stable molecule?

Nitrogen typically forms stable molecules by bonding with three hydrogen atoms to create ammonia (NH3). This is because nitrogen has five valence electrons and requires three additional electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while hydrogen has one valence electron. By sharing electrons through covalent bonds, nitrogen can achieve a stable configuration with a total of eight electrons in its outer shell.


Does nitrogen form ionic or covalent bonds with hydrogen?

Nitrogen forms covalent bonds with hydrogen. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to form ions with opposite charges.
