What happens to Hydrogen gas when exposed to flame?
If there is oxygen present it will burn (explosively)
What is the name of the compound oxygen and hydrogen can combine explosively to form?
The compound oxygen and hydrogen can combine explosively to form water.
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
How does hydrogen react to fire?
Pure Hydrogen (H2) gas will explosively ignite in the presence of fire.
Why is hydrogen inert at room temperature?
Hydrogen is not inert it reacts explosively with Oxygen to create water H2O
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
Does water retain the properties of hydrogen and oxygen?
No. It's very different. For a start, both hydrogen and oxygen are gases under ordinary conditions but water is a fairly dense liquid. Hydrogen burns explosively. Things burn vigorously in oxygen. Water can be used to extinguish many types of fires. And so it goes.
Can silicon explode?
Silicon may certainly burn, but whether explosively I don't know.
Does hydrogen leave residue on burning?
Nothing is left because hydrogen is an element, from which only water is formed when burning (explosively) with oxygen.
What Stars burn hydrogen?
