All Group 1 elements react with water to produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen ... because they have more shells. The larger the atom, the further the outer electron is from the nucleus.

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

This innovation is expected to lead the next generation of sustainable hydrogen production. The newly developed catalyst features a ruthenium (Ru)-based nanocluster with a core-shell structure.
