Why does `H^+` ion always get associated with other atoms or molecules?

A

Ionisation enthalpy of hydrogen resembles that of alkali metals

B

Its reactivity is similar to halogens

C

It resemble both alkali metals and halogens

D

Loss of an electron from hydrogen atom results in a nucleus of very small size as compared to other atoms or ions. Due to small size it cannot exist free

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H^(+)` ion always get associated with other atoms or molecules. The reason is that loss of an electron from hydrogen atom results in a nucleus of very small size as compared to other atoms or ions. Due to small size it cannot exist free.
