Best Answer

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. It is the simplest element in nature, having one proton in the nucleus and one electron in the shell.

Hydrogen is extremely light, and can be used to fill balloons. Hydrogen is HIGHLY flammable. When hydrogen burns, the result is water.

1. A colourless, odourless and tasteless gas.

2. Non-poisonous.

3. Its vapour density is 1. (Vapour density of air = 14.4). Thus it is much lighter than air. Passing hydrogen through soap solution can easily prove this. The bubbles formed will rise into the air.

4. Solubility of H2 is very low. Only 2 volumes of hydrogen dissolve per 100 volumes of water under ordinary conditions.

5. Hydrogen can undergo liquefaction. Cooling hydrogen to below -240oC, under a pressure of 20 atmospheres or more, can liquefy it. Liquid hydrogen is a colourless liquid, which boils at -253oC. It solidifies when allowed to evaporate, because, during the process, intense cooling takes place. Solid hydrogen is a transparent ice like crystalline substance with melts at -259. 4oC.

Description of hydrogen-?

Brief description: hydrogen is the lightest element. It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up about about 90% of the universe by weight. Hydrogen as water (H2O) is absolutely essential to life and it is present in all organic compounds. Hydrogen is the lightest gas. Hydrogen gas was used in lighter-than-air balloons for transport but is far too dangerous because of the fire risk (Hindenburg). It burns in air to form only water as waste product and if hydrogen could be made on sufficient scale from other than fossil fuels then there might be a possibility of a hydrogen economy.
