Can Hydrogen Be Negatively Charged

Hydrogen, or ask if it can be charged negatively?

The property of hydrogen is often positive monovalent, and in chemical reactions, it is mostly positive by losing an electron. However, the world is strange, in a specific environment, hydrogen can also gain electrons and be charged negatively.

View of metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride (NaH), sodium is active and prone to losing electrons. Hydrogen in this case gains electrons lost by sodium, and is negative monovalent and negatively charged. In this hydrogen gains electrons to form a stable state.

In some complex chemical systems, at low temperatures and with the help of special media, hydrogen atoms can capture additional electrons and form negatively charged hydrogen species.

Therefore, although hydrogen is less negatively charged normally, it can be negatively charged in specific chemical situations.
