Write the chemical equation for the formation of HI from the single, isolated H and I atoms.

H2 + I2 → 2 HI.

Explanation:

Hydrogen iodide is a diatomic gas which can be readily formed from the direct combination of the elements involved which is hydrogen and iodine. Both elements can be combined by irradiating the mixture with an electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength which is equal to that needed to break the iodine molecule bond between the two iodine atoms
