Question

make this shorter:Hydrogen atoms achieve a stable configuration by sharing their electrons through a covalent bond. In a molecule of hydrogen (H₂), two hydrogen atoms come together and each contributes one electron to form a shared electron pair. This shared pair of electrons allows both hydrogen atoms to have access to two electrons, which fulfills the "octet rule" for stability in this case, as having two electrons allows each hydrogen atom to achieve a full outer shell similar to helium, which is a noble gas. This mutual sharing of electrons is what helps the hydrogen atoms reach a stable electronic configuration.

Answer 1

Hydrogen atoms achieve stability by sharing electrons through a covalent bond. In a hydrogen molecule (H₂), two atoms each contribute one electron, forming a shared pair. This gives both atoms access to two electrons, fulfilling the octet rule and allowing them to attain a stable configuration similar to helium.
