Hydrogen is a first element of Periodic Table and most available element in entire Universe has very important property to carry energy. Hydrogen for its properties as an energy carrier, now days, treated as debatable issue in science community. In spite of this hydrogen as a carrier can play a very important and energetic role to fulfill our clean energy requirements.

First of all hydrogen was discover in 1500s by physicist 'Theophrastus Paracelsus' but he was not aware about the properties. Hydrogen is a lightest element with molecular weight of 2.016 g/mol, odorless, colorless gas. Present in three isotopes, protium, deuterium, and tritium. Hydrogen has the highest energy content per unit mass of all fuels but one third per unit volume then gasoline. Liquid hydrogen is already used for space shuttles and rockets and is also proposed for the future hypersonic and supersonic space vehicles. However, there is developed interest in use of hydrogen in other transportation and stationary power.

What elements make up all organic molecules?

Organic molecules all contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. In addition to these two elements, most organic molecules also contain oxygen and nitrogen atoms. Other elements such as phosphorus and sulfur may also be present in smaller quantities.


Are molecules made up of hydrogen?

Molecules can be composed of hydrogen atoms along with other elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and more. Water (H2O) is an example of a molecule made up of hydrogen along with oxygen.


Is energy in water from hydrogen molecules?

No. The hydrogen and oxygen in water are combined into a single substance; it does not get one property from hydrogen or another from oxygen but rather has its own unique set of properties based on how they are combined. It is unclear what "energy" you are referring to.


Explain why water molecules are capable of hydrogen bonding with 4 neighbouring water molecues?

Water molecules contain polar covalent bonds due to the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with neighboring water molecules, as the slightly positive hydrogen atom attracts the slightly negative oxygen atom of another water molecule. This unique structure and polarity of water molecules make them capable of forming hydrogen bonds with up to four neighboring water molecules, resulting in strong intermolecular forces.


What 4 elements make up 96 percent of your body mass?

Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen together make up approximately 96% of your body mass. These elements are essential for forming the molecules and compounds that are found in your cells, tissues, and organs.
