Answer:

The electrons will be added by the hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we fire a single electron towards the hydrogen atom, the hydrogen atoms added the electron to its shell by applying force of attraction and becomes stable as well as non reactive in nature because the hydrogen attains the electronic configuration of helium which is a noble gas and have completed its outermost shell. The proton that is present in the nucleus attracts this electron and compel it to add in the electron.
