Which of the following statements are not true for Hydrogen?
(i) It exists as a diatomic molecule.
(ii) It has one electron in the outermost shell.
(iii) It can lose an electron to form a cation which can freely exist
(iv) It forms a large number of ionic compounds by losing an electron.
The answer is the option (iii) & (iv), i.e. it can lose an electron to form a cation which can freely exist, and it forms a large number of ionic compounds by losing an electron.
Hydrogen cannot form ionic compounds by giving an electron but instead forms many covalent bonds by the sharing of electrons.
