9.7. This is due to its small atomic size and small bond length (74 pm) of H-H bond.H? H bond has very high bond enthalpy (435.9 kJ/mol) which results in low reactivity at room temperature. The reactivity is increased at high temperature or in presence of catalyst. Under these conditions, hydrogen reacts with many metals and non-metals to form hydrides.
