Properties and Electron Configuration of Hydrogen

This video tutorial explains how to write the electron configuration for the hydrogen ion (H+). It begins by detailing the electron configuration for neutral hydrogen, which has one electron. The tutorial then explains that when hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes H+, resulting in an electron configuration of 1s0. The video concludes by discussing the special properties of H+ in the context of acids and bases.

What is the first step in writing the electron configuration for H+ ion?

• Begin with the electron configuration of neutral hydrogen

• Use the configuration of oxygen

• Start with the electron configuration of helium

• Directly write the configuration for H+

Why is hydrogen considered a neutral element on the periodic table?

• It has more electrons than protons

• It has an equal number of protons and electrons

• It has more protons than electrons

• It has no electrons

What is the electron configuration for neutral hydrogen?

• 1s2

• It loses a proton

• It loses an electron

• It gains an electron

What is the electron configuration for H+ ion?

• 1s1

• 1s0

• 2s1

• 2p0

Why does H+ ion have special properties?

• It has extra electrons

• It has extra protons

• It has a neutral charge
