Under ordinary conditions ... those in which humans could reasonably expect to live ... hydrogen is a diatomic gas.At very high temperatures it becomes an ionized plasma.

At very low temperatures it becomes a liquid and finally a solid.

It's hypothesized that at very high pressures hydrogen may become metallic, though it would require pressures far greater than we have been able to create on Earth so far.



In nature it exists as part of a compound; it is too reactive to stand alone. If you care to separate it out you can cause it to be a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.

Is Hydrogen ionic or covalent'?

The hydrogen molecule has a covalent bond.


Is hydrogen atomic or molecular?

Hydrogen can exist as both atomic and molecular forms. In its atomic form, hydrogen exists as individual atoms (H). In its molecular form, hydrogen exists as diatomic molecules (H2), where two hydrogen atoms are bonded together.


What are the forms of hydrogen?

There are three forms of Hydrogen (these are known as isotopes). These are normal hydrogen, deuterium and tritium.


The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to what family?

The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to the halogen family, which also consists of elements that typically exist as diatomic molecules in their natural state, such as chlorine and fluorine.


What is hydrogen hexachloride?

Hydrogen hexachloride does not exist. However, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is a chemical compound that exists in several isomeric forms, including alpha, beta, and gamma. It has been used as a pesticide, but its usage is now restricted due to its persistence in the environment and toxicity.


Do molecular elements exist in nature?

Yes, The elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are all molecular elements that exist in nature. Due to their reactivity, it is rare to find the halogens and phosphorus in their elemental forms in nature.


Why does hydrogen molecule does not exist?

Hydrogen molecules do exist but they are less stable than hydrogen atoms. This is because hydrogen molecules require a large amount of energy to form since hydrogen atoms are highly reactive and tend to exist independently. Additionally, hydrogen molecules can easily dissociate into individual atoms at lower temperatures.


Does Hydrogen and oxygen exist naturally as three-atom molecules?

Hydrogen can't exist as a three-atom single-element molecule no matter what you do to it - it has only one bonding site. If you stick an atom with two bonding sites between the hydrogen atoms you can pull it off, but this isn't a question about water. Oxygen can naturally exist as a three-atom molecule - it's ozone.


Why does water exist?

It is a must to live for humans and many other living organisms. Cuz your body needs hydrogen in forms other than air


How many total hydrogen bonds would exist between the dna strand and its complementary strand 5'ACTCTAG 3'?

There would be 13 hydrogen bonds formed between the DNA strand 5'ACTCTAG 3' and its complementary strand. Each adenine forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine, and each cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.


Which base pair, adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine, forms more hydrogen bonds?

Guanine-cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds, while adenine-thymine forms two hydrogen bonds. Therefore, guanine-cytosine forms more hydrogen bonds.


Can hydrogen with one electron exist as a hydrogen solid in places of very high pressure?

Metallic Hydrogen is thought to exist in the core of Jupiter and Saturn, so yes.
