Hydrogen gas (dihydrogen or molecular hydrogen)[10] is highly flammable and will burn in air at a very wide range of concentrations between 4% and 75% by volume.[11] The enthalpy of combustion for hydrogen is −286 kJ/mol.Burning or combustion is the process of formation of oxides.Hydrogen reacts with o2 to give

water & a lot of energy.
