Best Answer

No. Hydrogen is not a compound.

Related Information:

A compound molecule consists of two or more differentelements.

An elemental hydrogen molecule is diatomic, composed of two atoms of the same element, so is not a compound, even though it is bonded like some compounds.

Naturally occurring hydrogen consists of diatomic molecules of hydrogen. The outer shell electron, the only electron, of each of two hydrogen atoms tends to form one covalently bonded molecule, H2.

Hydrogen and chlorine form a covalent compound hydrogen chloride, HCl. When this is dissolved in water it dissociates to form H+ and Cl-, and it is called hydrochloric acid.
