Q1. Why reactions of ordinary hydrogen are slow?

Ans: ordinary hydrogen is diatomic –molecule (H₂) and two atoms in molecule hydrogen are held together by strong covalent bonds. Therefore ordinary hydrogen molecules are very stable and dissociate at extreme condition. Due to this reason, the reactions of ordinary hydrogen are very slow or it is less reactive
