Question

Why does hydrogen occur in a diatomic form rather than in a monoatomic form under normal
conditions?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Why does hydrogen occur in a diatomic form rather than in a monoatomic form under normal conditions? hydrogen (1s1) has one electron less than the stable inert gas configuration (He;1s2) and therefore it shares its single electron with an electron of another hydrogen atom to form a stable diatomic molecule. ...

Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrogen has an electronic configuration of 1s¹. Its outer shell is not complete. So, hydrogen forms covalent bond with another hydrogen atom which results in completely filled shell of electrons which is much more stable than half filled shell. Hence, hydrogen occurs in a diatomic form rather than in a monoatomic form under normal conditions.
