Hydrogen Electron Gain Loss
Hydrogen, in a chemical reaction, the situation of gaining and losing electrons is really related to the environment and the reaction object.
If hydrogen encounters elements with stronger electronegativity, such as oxygen and chlorine, hydrogen tends to lose electrons. The atomic structure of hydrogen is that only one electron rotates around the nucleus. When it encounters a strong electronegativity, the electron is more attracted by the other atom, and it is easy to break away from the hydrogen atom. Hydrogen is in a positive monovalent state. For example, in water (H 2O O), hydrogen loses one electron and combines with oxygen.
Conversely, if hydrogen encounters elements with weaker electronegativity, or under specific reaction conditions, hydrogen can also obtain electrons. For example, when hydrogen reacts with sodium metal, sodium loses electrons easily, and hydrogen gains electrons and becomes negative monovalent, generating sodium hydride (NaH).
Therefore, when discussing the gain and loss of electrons of hydrogen, the specific situation of the reaction cannot be generalized. In different chemical reactions, hydrogen either loses electrons or gains electrons, which vary widely, depending on the characteristics of the reaction system.
