Covalent Bond For Hydrogen

A hydrogen atom has only one proton and one electron ear. To form a stable state, it is often covalently bonded.

The covalent bond is a bond between atoms that shares electrons. To achieve a stable structure of a hydrogen atom, an electron needs to be obtained, just like the electronic configuration of helium. When two hydrogen atoms meet, each of their electrons will form a pair of electrons. The pair of electrons are shared by the two hydrogen atoms, so they form a covalent bond and form a hydrogen molecule ($H_2 $).

The formation of this covalent bond makes the force between the hydrogen atoms reach equilibrium, and the two attract and repel each other. The sharing of electrons makes the hydrogen atoms obtain a stable state like a shell, the energy is reduced, and the system tends to be stable. In this way, hydrogen is covalently bonded into molecules, exhibiting various chemical properties, participating in various chemical reactions in the world, and is one of the basic constituents of all things.
