My teacher asked my class to do a homework to find the properties of hydrogen.

I want to know that why once hydrogen atoms combines with other non-metal atoms, it shares its electrons instead of losing it? :confused:

Not too sure but i think it's because if you strip hydrogen of it's electron it becomes just a proton, with a high densitiy of positive charge. That positive charge then just pulls those electrons straight back again until there in a region inbetween the two nuclei.
