NEETChemistryHydrogen
What is the consequence of the high enthalpy of H–H bond in terms of chemical reactivity of dihydrogen?
Options
- AIt makes dihydrogen highly reactive, leading to its ability to form strong covalent bonds with other elements.
- BIt makes dihydrogen relatively unreactive at room temperature, requiring high temperatures and catalysts for m
- CIt allows dihydrogen to undergo combustion reactions with oxygen readily.
- DIt promotes the formation of dihydrogen from its constituent elements at low temperatures.
Correct answer
B. It makes dihydrogen relatively unreactive at room temperature, requiring high temperatures and catalysts for m
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) It makes dihydrogen relatively unreactive at room temperature, requiring high temperatures and catalysts for most reactions.
