In H₂, two hydrogen atoms share their electrons equally because they have the same electronegativity. Thus, a non-polar covalent bond is formed. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing (e.g., HCl). Coordinate bonds involve one atom donating both electrons (e.g., NH₄⁺).
Explanation:
During the electrolysis of water, reduction occurs at the cathode (negative electrode), where H⁺ ions gain electrons to form hydrogen gas (2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂). Oxidation occurs at the anode, producing oxygen gas. The volume of H₂ collected is exactly twice that of O₂.
Explanation:
Isobars are atoms of different elements, so they have different atomic numbers (protons). Since mass number is same, number of neutrons also differs. Example: ⁴⁰Ar (Z=18, N=22) and ⁴⁰Ca (Z=20, N=20). Mass number = 40 same. So both atomic number and neutrons differ. Option D is correct as both B and C are true.
