Hydrogen can be made to explode in two different ways. The most usual way would be by combustion with oxygen, but that requires ignition. However, if you have liquid hydrogen you could make it explode by heating it, even in the absence of oxygen, in exactly the same way that water in a sealed container will explode if you heat it to the boiling point. Liquid hydrogen, of course, has a much lower boiling point than water does, and therefore would require less heating to make it explode. If it is not kept cooled, it will explode even at room temperature.

What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
Hydrogen can explode when ignited in air is physical property?
Chemical property
What element makes fluorine more powerful?
hydrogen. it makes it explode:)
Will WD-40 explode on contact with natural gas?
WD-40 and natural gas both need a source of ignition like a flame to explode.
Is there any organic compound without carbon and hydrogen?
There are organic compounds without hydrogen. but there are none without carbon.
Can hydrogen gas relight a flame?
No. Oxygen gas relights flames. Hydrogen gas will explode in the presence of fire, giving a 'squeaky pop'
How did the Hindenburg explode?
The Hindenburg was filled with the element Hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. A spark ignited the hydrogen, which caused the skin of the zeppelin to burn furiously. The hydrogen fueled the inferno.
Can Hydrogen explode on its own?
Yes, when hydrogen explodes it produces water.
Does oxygen and hydrogen explode when ignited?
Oxygen has a tremendously greater attraction for electrons than hydrogen does, so when hydrogen donates an electron to oxygen, there is a substantial release of energy. This energy appears in the form of heat, so the gases (hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor which is the product of the reaction) will be very hot. Hot gases expand rapidly, hence, they explode.
Will hydrogen sulfide explode?
Yes. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable.
Why is hydrogen in the human body?
Hydrogen has various functions in human body. Hydrogen can form hydrogen bond with highly electro- negative atoms.The double halix structure of DNA sustain because of hydrogen and its properties.
Does hydrogn implode or explode?
Hydrogen explodes.
Which element in the core of a high mass star leads ultimately to a supernova explosion?
The Answer may be hydrogen. Hydrogen moves to the suns core as it starts to die, or explode. hydrogen is a very flammable gas. A star, like the sun is surrounded by heat. this heat will ignite the hydrogen gases as it moves to the core. This ignition of the hydrogen will cause the star to expand in size and increase in temperature.
Is pure hydrogen dangerous?
According to Wikipedia:"Hydrogen gas forms explosive mixtures with air if it is 4-74% concentrated and with chlorine if it is 5-95% concentrated. The mixtures spontaneously explode by spark, heat or sunlight. The hydrogen autoignition temperature, the temperature of spontaneous ignition in air, is 500 °C (932 °F)."
When did china explode their first hydrogen bomb?
June 1967.
What gas can explode?
Flourine (with hydrogen, even in the cold and dark), also Chlorine (when exposed to sunlight with hydrogen)
What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
