- The nucleus of a hydrogen atom consists of one positively charged proton i.e., nuclear charge of +1 and one extranuclear electron.
- As this electron is in direct influence of nuclear attraction, hydrogen has a little tendency to lose this electron.
- However, it can easily pair with the other electron forming a covalent bond.
- Therefore, it exists in diatomic form as H2 molecule and hence, it is also referred to as dihydrogen.
