Hydrogen (pronounced /ˈhaɪdrədʒən/) is the chemical element with atomic number 1. It is represented by the symbol H. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless, highly flammable diatomic gas with the molecular formula H2. With an atomic weight of 1.00794 u, hydrogen is the lightest element.

Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element, constituting roughly 75% of the universe's elemental mass. Stars in the main sequence are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state. Elemental hydrogen is relatively rare on Earth. Industrial production is from hydrocarbons such as methane with most being used "captively" at the production site. The two largest uses are in fossil fuel processing (e.g., hydrocracking) and ammonia production mostly for the fertilizer market. Hydrogen may be produced from the electrolysis of water or other hydrogen production methods like the reforming of natural gas.

The most common isotope of hydrogen is protium (name rarely used, symbol H) with a single proton and no neutrons. In ionic compounds it can take a negative charge (an anion known as a hydride and written as H), or as a positively-charged species H. The latter cation is written as though composed of a bare proton, but in reality, hydrogen cations in ionic compounds always occur as more complex species. Hydrogen forms compounds with most elements and is present in water and most organic compounds. It plays a particularly important role in acid-base chemistry with many reactions exchanging protons between soluble molecules. As the only neutral atom with an analytic solution to the Schrödinger equation, the study of the energetics and bonding of the hydrogen atom played a key role in the development of quantum mechanics.

Hydrogen is important in metallurgy as it can embrittle many metals, complicating the design of pipelines and storage tanks. Hydrogen is highly soluble in many rare earth and transition metals and is soluble in both nanocrystalline and amorphous metals. Hydrogen solubility in metals is influenced by local distortions or impurities in the crystal lattice.

What percentage of hydrogen peroxide should I use to get black stains off of laminate flooring?
Q. The floor has black patches from cat urine. I know hydrogen peroxide helps in removing most of the black. But what % would be most effective? Anyone who has had this problem and has got rid of atleast most of the black marks using hydrogen peroxide, I would really appreciate your help! Thanks guys :-) Londonsyard

What is it about the hydrogen atom that allowed it to produce photons of this type?
Q. It was determined that not all of the lines in the hydrogen spectrum were visible. There were some discovered in the ultraviolet range A. Hydrogen has an invisible area from which photons outside the visible range originate. B. Only the hydrogen atoms from the sun emit ultraviolet rays. C. Ultraviolet photons have a longer wavelength, thus more energy. D. Higher energy photons come from transitions between energy levels of greater difference in energy. E. This is known as the ultraviolet catastrophe and never really took place.

A. D. is the only one that seems to make _any_sense to me, but it doesn't specifically say why this would be the case for hydrogen, still the other options are worse, so D is my final answer.

What ever happened to hydrogen powered cars?
Q. In 2007 and 2008 there was all this news and now nothing. In know Honda and Chevy where planning on making one and i believe BMW actually made one. Its seems like there focus now is hybrids. I was planning on holding off on buying a new car until they were released but it looks like hydrogen cars aren't coming any time soon. Will hydrogen fuel cell cars ever come?

A. The are not cost effective at this time. Without having most of electricity gennerated by alternative energy, theer really is no point. There is no abundant natural source of hydrogen fuel, It has to be made from natural gas, or by electrolysis using electricity. So for the most part, we use hydrogen like a battery, for energy storage. Half of the electricty in the United States is generated by coal. So, like an electric car, it would be mostly powered by fossil fuels at this time.
