Covalent Radius of Hydrogen (H) - & Sources, Uses ... 2022

Molecules and atoms have a certain 'size or radius', even Hydrogen. Ok but what is the covalent radius of an atom of H?

In the case of Hydrogen the covalent radius is 0.32 Å. You see, there is a lot of info about Hydrogen (beyond an atom's radius) that is actually interesting. Let me show you...

Hydrogen Facts

Uses

Most hydrogen is used in the production of ammonia. Also used in balloons and in metal refining. Also used as fuel in rockets. Its two heavier isotopes are: deuterium (D) and tritium (T) used respectively for nuclear fission and fusion.

Sources

Commercial quantities are produced by reacting superheated steam with methane or carbon. In lab work from reaction of metals with acid solutions or electrolysis.

Description

Tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. The most abundant element in the universe. Tenth most abundant element in the earth's crust.

Atomic Symbol

H

Name Origin

Greek: hydro (water) and genes (generate)

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Covalent Radius of Hydrogen (H) - & Sources, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
