Why is it not possible for hydrogen to be in the atmosphere?

It IS possible for hydrogen to be in the atmosphere since we find it there today. Hydrogen is lighter than any other gas, so it of all the gasses in the atmosphere is most readily able to be lost to space. It also combines readily with oxygen to form water, and forms other compounds. However, a small amount of H2 gas does exist in the earth's atmosphere.
