Is hydroelectric and hydrogen the same?

No, hydroelectric power is generated using water flow to turn turbines and produce electricity, while hydrogen is a chemical element used as fuel in hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Both are renewable energy sources, but they differ in their methods of energy production and application.


How does the composition of a mixture of hydrogen any oxygen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would consist of separate H2 and O2 molecules. The hydrogen and oxygen would retain their own properties. The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. In it the two elements are combined into molecules of H2O, which has its own set of properties distinct from those of hydrogen or oxygen.


Which is a pair of allotropes?

Yes ofcourse Hydrogen have two allotropes, Ortho hydrogen and para hydrogen. They differ only in having parallel and anti parallel nuclear spins. It was first observed by Heisenberg in 1927. BY RAJESH KUMAR GDC MPM SINDH PAKISTAN


How do the isotopes hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 differ?

The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.


How do istopes hydrogen -2 and hydrogen -3 differ?

The hydrogen-2 isotope, sometimes called "deuterium", contains one proton and one neutron in the nucleus of the atom, instead of having only one proton. THis makes it heavier than normal, and is sometimes called "heavy hydrogen". The hydrogen-3 isotope, called "tritium", has one proton and TWO neutrons, and is somewhat radioactive. Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years, and decays into helium-3.

A hydrogen atom may contain zero one or two?

A hydrogen atom may contain zero, one, or two electrons. The number of electrons in a hydrogen atom determines its charge and chemical properties. A hydrogen atom with no electrons is a proton, while a hydrogen atom with one electron is a neutral species, and with two electrons it becomes a negatively charged ion.


Isotopes of hydrogen differ in what?

Isotopes (of hydrogen) differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms.


How does the composition a mixture of hydrogen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?

The compound is water - H2O; the molecule of hydrogen is H2.


How does the hydrogen atom in HCl differ from a hydrogen atom in table sugar?

All hydrogen atoms (H-1) are identical.


Deuterium and tritium are both?

The difference between deuterium and tritium is one neutron. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron, 12H, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons, 13H.


What is the color of hydrogen for physical science?

Does the color of hydrogen differ from one subject to another? (orange)


Is this true or false Hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 differ in that hydrogen-2 has one neutron hydrogen-1 has none?

Yes it is true. All isotopes differ in the number of neutrons only.


How do an atom of hydrogen and a molecule of hydrogen differ?

A molecule consists of many atoms. When you have a hydrogen molecule, or whatever other type of molecule for that matter, you have many hydrogen atoms that make it.


State one way in which a molecule of hydrogen and a molecule of oxygen differ?

One way in which a molecule of hydrogen and a molecule of oxygen differ is in their chemical formula. A molecule of hydrogen consists of two hydrogen atoms (H2), whereas a molecule of oxygen consists of two oxygen atoms (O2).


How atom of hydrogen is differ from molecule of hydrogen?

atoms are the building blocks of all matter, a molecule will contain atoms within it


Does the atomic number change in the three isotopes of hydrogen?

No the atomic number is same for the three isotopes of hydrogen (it is 1). The three isotopes of hydrogen differ by the number of neutrons.
