Describe the bulk preparation of dihydrogen by electrolytic method

Question: Describe the bulk preparation of dihydrogen by electrolytic method. What is therole of an electrolyte in this process? Solution: Dihydrogen is prepared by the electrolysis of acidified or alkaline water using platinum electrodes. Generally, $15-20 \%$ of an acid $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)$ or a base $(\mathrm{NaOH})$ is used. Reduction of water occurs at the cathode as: $2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2}+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}$ A...

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

Question: Why does hydrogen occur in a diatomic form rather than in a monoatomic form under normal conditions? Solution: The ionization enthalpy of hydrogen atom is very high (1312 kJ mol1). Hence, it is very hard to remove its only electron. As a result, its tendency to exist in the monoatomic form is rather low. Instead, hydrogen forms a covalent bond with another hydrogen atom and exists as a diatomic (H2) molecule....

Justify the position of hydrogen in the periodic table on the basis of its electronic configuration.

Question: Justify the position of hydrogen in the periodic table on the basis of its electronicconfiguration. Solution: Hydrogen is the first element of the periodic table. Its electronic configuration is $\left[1 s^{1}\right]$. Due to the presence of only one electron in its $1 s$ shell, hydrogen exhibits a dual behaviour, i.e., it resembles both alkali metals and halogens. Resemblance with alkali metals: 1. Like alkali metals, hydrogen contains one valence electron in its valency shell. $\math...
