Properties of Hydrogen | Environmental Chemistry | Chemistry | FuseSchool

Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, and is the first element in the periodic table. It has the chemical symbol H, but is usually found as a diatomic molecule of H2.

It reacts with oxygen to form water.

Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless gas that burns and can form an explosive mixture with air. It is the least dense gas known to man. A jet of hydrogen burns in air with a very hot blue flame.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is found most abundantly on Earth in water, but can also be found in the atmosphere in very small amounts.

When reactive metals like sodium come into contact with water Hydrogen gas is released.

The test for hydrogen is that when a test tube containing hydrogen is placed near a flame it ignites with a “ squeaky Pop”.

All metals above Hydrogen in the reactivity series react with acids to displace hydrogen.

Hydrogen combines with nitrogen to form ammonia.

I was wearing Earphones when the “Squeaky POP” and loud volume too. Lol
That sure scared me.

[khazsak]

very helpful!! can i ask u a question that which app do you use to make this video?

[aditiarunbhat]

Thank you so much!This was really useful for my exam and I got great marks in it too (bcoz of the video)

[mariegardiner]

I would be very interested in a video about hydrogen water and ionized water. Do you have anything like that?

[narasareddy]

I have scared about the pop because when the pop sound came my parents asked me what did you do ? And thank you so much for the great work

[spencerpanes]

Gotta say very informative and concise thank you❤️

[Thesupperals]

I was here trying to learn more about hydrogen so that I can create a solid that is hydrogen-phobic. Do you have any advice as to where I can learn about such a thing?

[suganyahemanth]

It's very clear for understanding whatever you teach thank you the most & it helps me in many ways👍👍👍

[MuhammadSalman-bbvn]

I was about to doze off, and then u put that scary "Pop!", almost killed me.
Nice video though.
