Question

why does hydrogen bond so tightly to oxygen during cellular respiration? (1 point)
it is more electronegative than oxygen.
it is less electronegative than oxygen.
it is electronegative, but oxygen is not.
it is not electronegative, but oxygen is.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons. Oxygen is highly electronegative compared to hydrogen. In cellular respiration, the difference in electronegativity causes hydrogen to bond tightly to oxygen as oxygen pulls the shared - electrons in the bond closer to itself.

Answer:

It is less electronegative than oxygen.
