Chemistry question about hydrogen ?
why do hydrogen always forms co-valent bond. it has one electron so it can easily donate and form ionic bond

i was this may be because every chemical bond happens to get octet(8 valence electrons) or duplet(2 valence electrons).so if it gives one electron then it will not achieve duplet .so it forms co valent bond to achieve it.

If the hydrogen atom combines with metals, it will form ionic bond in the form of hydride. Example NaH.
With non metals, it will share its electron to form covalent bond. All depends on the difference in the electronegativities between H and the other atoms. If the difference is very big, then ionic bond. If the difference is small, then it forms covalent bonds
