Question

Largest number of hydrogen compounds are formed through which bonding ionic bonding ,h bonding,coordinate bonding,covalent bonding

Answer 1

largest number of hydrogen compound are formed through ionic bonding.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{1}$.

Since it has only one electron therefore in order to complete its octet it will share its electron with another atom. Thus, it will form a covalent bond as a covalent bond forms by sharing of electrons.

Hydrogen cannot transfer its one electron because if it does so, then hydrogen will not exist. Hence, there is no ionic bonding as an ionic bond forms only when there is transfer of electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, largest number of hydrogen compounds are formed through covalent bonding.
