Chemistry Questions

The main use of salt in the diet is to produce in small amounts the hydrochloric acid required for the digestion of food.

Covalent type of bonding joins The two hydrogen atoms are joned by Covalent type of bonding.

In this type of bonding, electrons are shared between the atoms in order to fill there valence shells. Thus sharing of electrons take place in between the hydrogen atoms.

Nitrogen is found as a diatomic molecule (N2) in nature. There is a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms.

The triple bond is pretty strong. Therefore, it needs a lot of energy to break those bonds and participate in a reaction. So nitrogen is commonly referred to as and used as an inert gas (high abundance & low cost.) However, it’s not truly inert like most noble gases. Nitrogen does react if the conditions are met. But those conditions are not exactly mild, but are not as extreme as for noble gases.

It forms nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide with oxygen, ammonia with hydrogen, and nitrogen sulfide with sulfur.

The nucleus of hydrogen consists of only a single proton.

Its parts are a single negatively-charged electron that circles a single positively-charged nucleus of the hydrogen atom.

The electron is bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force.
