Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.

How are substituted hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons different?
Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon, whereas carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates, because they also contain oxygen, typically have more bonding variety.
Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
The type of compound that contains much more carbon and hydrogen than oxygen?
One such type is hydrocarbons, which contain only hydrogen and carbon with no oxygen at all.
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
Why is it difficult to burn hydrocarbons fuels?
I think it because there is more energy needed in order to break down the bonds in the hydrocarbon. Making it less efficient for fuels
How is hydrogen produced commercially?
"electrifying water to separate the oygen and the hydrogen" (aka electrolysis) is very expensive and is only used to create laboratory grade hydrogen. According to this source: http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-hydrogen-hoax most commercial hydrogen is created from hydrocarbons, like natural gas and petroleum byproducts. The author of this article claims that creating hydrogen this way creates more CO2 than burning the hydrocarbons for fuel directly.
Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?
Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.
How are substituted hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons different?
Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon, whereas carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates, because they also contain oxygen, typically have more bonding variety.
How are hydrogen cars powered?
Generally, a Hydrogen powered car runs by using hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity in a fuel cell, which is then used to power an electric traction motor that runs the car. Direct ignition-engines are more difficult and dangerous to 'run'.
What is made of carbon and hydrogen?
Substances composed of carbon and hydrogen are called "hydrocarbons". Common hydrocarbons include methane (natural gas), oil and gas. Hydrogen and carbon are very common elements in everything that is or was formerly living.
The type of compound that contains much more carbon and hydrogen than oxygen?
One such type is hydrocarbons, which contain only hydrogen and carbon with no oxygen at all.
Are hydrogen fuel cell car dangerous?
The most likely spot for a hydrogen fuel tank on any possible car that will be built is going to be on the top of the car. This would prevent you from becoming part of the fuel burn in an accident. The fuel would flow up and away from the people involved. They would not be any more dangerous because of the fuel they were carrying. The technology may still be unlikely to go into this direction because they provide no real advantage at the moment over gas or diesel powered cars. Hydrogen would not provide any real savings in terms of fossil fuel reduction or savings from a pollution standpoint. The current method of making hydrogen is to strip it from natural gas.
Is it possible to get hydrogen fuel from biomass?
Yes. However, it is not yet economically practical, as it takes more energy to convert the biomass into hydrogen than we can get from using the hydrogen for fuel.
A molecule made of carbon and hydrogen?
Butane C4H10, Methane CH3, Ethane C2H6, Propane C3H8, All these are known as hydrocarbons. More complex hydrocarbons include petroleum, oil, plastics, and diesel.
How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?
Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.
What is true is true regarding hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fusion?
More mass is converted to energy in a fusion reaction than in a chemical reaction, such as that found in a fuel cell. - APEX
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
