Question

Bonding Two Cationic Hydrogen Isotopes (protium) yields H2 or He?

Answer 1

Protium is the most stable isotope of hydrogen. It has 1 proton in its nucleus and 1 electon.

A cationic Protium has only 1 proton in the nucleus and no electron. so it has 1+ charge.

When 2 cationic Protiums are bonded, then the bond has the 2 protons close to each other. So it will form H2 with 2+ charge on it.

To form He(2+), the Protium nuclei need to be fused together. This is not possible just by bonding as they are not close enough to have a strong nuclear force. So He will not form. He(2+) is highly unstable.
