Discuss the consequences of high enthalpy of `H-H` bond in terms of chemical reactivity of dihydrogen.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As a consequence of high enthalpy of `H-H` bond, dihydrogen is quite unreactive at room temperature.However, at high temperature or in the presence of catalyst, it reacts with metals and non-metals of form hydrides.
