the atoms contain 17 protons. are these atoms ions when they bond with each other? can these atoms form ions when they rest with other elements? explain.

Hope it helps ...

Explanation:

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. It is easily ignited. Once ignited it burns with a pale blue, almost invisible flame. The vapors are lighter than air. It is flammable over a wide range of vapor/air concentrations. Hydrogen is not toxic but is a simple asphyxiate by the displacement of oxygen in the air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Hydrogen is used to make other chemicals and in oxyhydrogen welding and cutting.

CAMEO Chemicals

Hydrogen, also known as H2 or e 949, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as other non-metal hydrides. These are inorganic compounds in which the heaviest atom bonded to a hydrogen atom is belongs to the class of 'other non-metals'. Hydrogen can be found anywhere throughout the human cell, such as in lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, and peroxisome. Hydrogen exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, hydrogen is involved in the pyruvate metabolism pathway, the homocysteine degradation pathway, the pantoprazole metabolism pathway, and plasmalogen synthesis pathway. Hydrogen is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include the acute intermittent porphyria pathway, the porphyria variegata (PV) pathway, the hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) pathway, and the methylmalonic aciduria due to cobalamin-related disorders pathway.

Dihydrogen is an elemental molecule consisting of two hydrogens joined by a single bond. It has a role as an antioxidant, an electron donor, a fuel, a human metabolite and a member of food packaging gas. It is an elemental hydrogen, a gas molecular entity and an elemental molecule.
