NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
What happens when an electric discharge is passed through gaseous hydrogen?
Options
- AHydrogen atoms combine to form H 2 molecules
- BH 2 molecules dissociate into hydrogen atoms
- CHydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms
- DHydrogen ions are formed
Correct answer
B. H 2 molecules dissociate into hydrogen atoms
Step-by-step solution
When an electric discharge is passed through gaseous hydrogen, the H 2 molecules dissociate into energetically excited hydrogen atoms
