Which of the following statement about hydrogen is incorrect?
-
Hydrogen never acts as cation in ionic salts
-
Hydronium ion, H3O+ exist freely in solution
-
Dihydrogen does not act as a reducing agent
-
Hydrogen has three isotopes of which tritium is the most common
C.
Dihydrogen does not act as a reducing agent
We can have both answers (C, D)
For ionic salts, hydrogen never behaves as cation, but behaves as anion (H-)
H3O+ exist freely in solution
Dihydrogen acts as a reducing agent.
Hydrogen has three isotopes. Protium, Deuterium and Tritium. Protium is the most common isotopes of hydrogen with an abundance of 99.98%.
