The correct response is:
It is less electronegative than oxygen.
In cellular respiration, hydrogen bonds tightly to oxygen because oxygen is highly electronegative, meaning it has a strong attraction for electrons compared to hydrogen. This difference in electronegativity leads to the formation of strong polar covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds between the two elements.
