What is the consequence of the high enthalpy of H–H bond in terms of chemical reactivity of dihydrogen?

Options

  1. AIt makes dihydrogen highly reactive, leading to its ability to form strong covalent bonds with other elements.
  2. BIt makes dihydrogen relatively unreactive at room temperature, requiring high temperatures and catalysts for m
  3. CIt allows dihydrogen to undergo combustion reactions with oxygen readily.
  4. 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.
