Chemistry · Bohr model of a hydrogen atom: its postulates, derivation of the relations for the energy of the electron and radii of the different orbits, limitations of Bohr's model
Active hydrogen is:
Active hydrogen is:
- A. hydrogen with unit positive charge
- B. hydrogen with unit negative charge
- C. a atomic hydrogen
- D. a molecular hydrogen
Step-by-step solution
Active hydrogen refers to atomic hydrogen (nascent hydrogen), which is highly reactive due to its unpaired electron, unlike molecular hydrogen (H2) which is relatively inert. Options A and B (H+ and H-) are ions, not typically called active hydrogen in this context.
