Question

Explain why: metal generally do not form compound with hydrogen

Answer 1

Most of the metal do not react withhydrogen because metals form compound by losing electrons andhydrogen also loses the eletrons andforms compounds.so normally hydrogen atom does not accept electrons given by a metal atom toform a compound.But there are fewmetals( like Na,Mg,Ca,k) which force the hydrogen 2 accept
