Hydrogen is a very flammable substance and will combust readily with oxygen when lit. A small amount of hydrogen that is combusted will produce a pop sound (pop test) but if large amounts of hydrogen is present then an explosion (I wouldn't call it that, but I guess it is) will happen.
A hydrogen explosion is very dangerous; I lived two hydrogen explosions (the first very small, the second larger but still at laboratory level) but I will not ever forget the incredible destructive effect and out fright.
The same thing that happens when anything else explodes: It tears stuff up.
A spark or flame will do the trick.

Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
No. Oxygen gas relights flames. Hydrogen gas will explode in the presence of fire, giving a 'squeaky pop'
Yes, when hydrogen explodes it produces water.
Yes. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely flammable.
Lithium floats on water because it is less dense than water.
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
Hydrogen is highly flammable and can easily explode. Helium is a more stable gas.
The gas making the popping noise is hydrogen.
Flourine (with hydrogen, even in the cold and dark), also Chlorine (when exposed to sunlight with hydrogen)

If anything burning is inserted into, or placed around a mass of Hydrogen gas, it will ignite the Hydrogen, causing it to "explode". The resulting explosion is very hot, and if done with too much Hydrogen gas, can be dangerous. Exercise caution when preforming this.
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
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)."
Explosions like that are caused by rapid chemical reactions. Jupiter is made up mostly of hydrogen. For hydrogen to explode, it needs something to react with. It usually reacts with oxygen. But on Jupiter, there is no oxygen. The only other gas that exists on Jupiter in significant amounts is helium. Helium does not react with hydrogen. So without a gas to react with, the planet is safe from explosion.

A balloon filled with hydrogen can explode.
