(a) Hydrogen molecule is monovalent.
(b) The removal of hydrogen from a substance is called reduction.
(c) Nitric acid cannot be used to prepare hydrogen by its action on active metals.
(d) The reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen to form ammonia is reversible.
(e) Zinc can liberate hydrogen from water, acid and alkali solution.
(f) Hydrogen is combustible as well as a supporter of combustion.
(g) Hydrogen gas is easily liquefiable.
Answer
(a) False
Corrected statement — Hydrogen molecule is divalent.
(b) False
Corrected statement — The removal of oxygen from a substance is called reduction.
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True
(f) False
Corrected statement — Hydrogen is combustible but it is non-supporter of combustion.
