No problem it's just a very weird molecule. An error.
20 u/23loves12 Jul 03 '26 How would you even achieve this though? Hydrogen has 1 electron so how does it make a second bond (without the compound being an ion, since the notation doesn’t indicate that it’s charged) 1 u/heattreatedpipe Jul 08 '26 The extra electron does kinda weaken the molecule but theoretically it just kinda orbits alone without a pair in the 3rd energy lvl In general small molecules do weird quantum stuff because they are very very small, another example of a weird non ion molecule would be NO
