@Jan's put up a nice and crisp, answer. My answer is merely a supplement to that ;)
It's because the hydrogen ("protium", if you will) nucleus has no need for neutrons.
What's this "need for neutrons", you ask?
Every element (apart from hydrogen) has multiple protons (it's the number of proton...
@CowperKettle The way I was taught it: If the total number of moles of particles on either side of the reaction are the same (as in this case: 1+1 <--> 2), pressure variation won't affect equilibrium ._.
> The effects of changes in pressure can be described as follows (this only applies to reactions involving gases):
When there is an increase in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.

Recently, while returning from St Petersburg to New Delhi via Almaty in Kazakhstan, our family had a rather bizarre experience. Before querying anything, I would like to sum up the situation -
Event 1
Our family of three checks-in at St Petersberg Pulkovo airport. At the last moment, we decided...
@CowperKettle I honestly have no idea if I was actually any help here, but if I was... you're welcome :D
2 scientists walk into a bar. Scientist 1:"I'll have some H2O" Scientist 2:"I'll have some H2O too" The second scientist dies.
@CowperKettle Oooh! You do poetry? :D
This one's good too:
Three men, one a statistician, are out hunting when they come across a deer. The first man shoots and misses by 5 meters to the right of the deer, the second man shoots and misses by 5 meters to the left of the deer, the statistician cries out, "we got him!"
How to calculate screening constant for zinc? And why do we take one electron put from n shell?
I actually missed some of my classes and now am unable to understand
A question in a Russian EGE test asks to choose 2 chemicals out of 5 with which Chlorine does not react:
Nitrogen - I checked and it reacts
NaOH -- reacts
O2 -- reacts
NaBr -- reacts
Fe -- reacts
I'm at a loss. Which two should I pick then? Maybe Fe and Nitrogen, because they would be t...
No, gaseous nitrogen (N2) does not react with chlorine. You can even buy chlorine in nitrogen, which is used for analytical purposes. If chlorine and nitrogen gas reacted, then it would be useless as an analytical standard.
A likely source of confusion is probably the reaction of chlorine with a...
She's got great questions and she seems like the type who would be likely to return to the site. I would like to see more users and older users return to rep (if they deserve it.)
